lyrics

There's a word for turd
which is often heard
in the schoolyard kindergarten
through grade third.
But the FCC
says we have to be
very careful not to put it
on TV.
There's a thing we do
in a bed for two.
It's a lovely tender little
interlude.
But the government
says we must prevent
any broadcast of the act.
Well, fuck the FCC, I say.
Shit on the head of the
government censor.
Fuck the FCC and let us
watch naked people curse away.
There's a bleeping sound
which is often found
in the mouths of actors duty bound
to emote and rage
and to earn their wage
and present what's written on the page.
But the government says "Whoa!
Those naughty words must go.
Our children must not know
what kind of tantrums grownups throw."
There's a fine to pay
if you go astray
and allow obscenity to rule the day.
Janet Jackson's breast
put it to the test
and you know the motherbleeping rest.
Fuck the FCC, I say.
Shit on the head of the
government censor.
Fuck the FCC and let us
watch what we want on TV
and fuck the FCC, I say.
Piss in the eye of the
government censor.
Fuck the FCC and let us
watch naked people curse away
every motherfucking day.

Dropsy has many musical tendrils, emanating from the vicinity of a funky lounge, sometimes snaking into dark caverns. The band sounds friendly enough, but displays its canines at unexpected moments. Cooper's droll lyrics brim with invective, taunts, boasts, disturbing delusions and bad advice. But he seems to be singing on our behalf, to a mutual enemy, in a bar on a tropical island. ... more
