Don't want to holiday
I want to educate myself
Not going out tonight
I need to educate myself
And though we find ourselves in
This era's darkest heart
Forces of wickedness
Will not tear us apart

Hush, hush
Don't let's be negative
Hush, hush
Don't let's be cruel, oh
Hush, hush
I don't think that I
Can do it for myself
But I can do it for us

The cops were barking up against the wall
But our hearts were singing
Peace to all freaks
You cannot spin us round your hate roulette
We know the universe
Must express itself as awful people too
So we really just feel sad for you

His folks are very stupid
I won't do you like that
Her folks are very racist
I won't do you like that
Somebody must've told them
During some crucial stage
That if you're dead inside
You don't really age, oh

Hush, hush
Don't let's be cynical
Hush, hush
Don't let's be bitter
Hush, hush
If you feel like you
Can't do it for yourself
Then do it for us

The cops were barking up against the wall
But our hearts were singing
Peace to all freaks
You cannot spin us round your hate roulette
We know the universe
Must express itself as awful people too
So we really just feel sad for you

Hush, hush
Don't let's be cynical
Hush, hush
Don't let's be bitter
Hush, hush
If you feel like you
Can't do it
Hush, hush
Don't let's be cynical
Hush, hush
Don't let's be bitter
Hush, hush
If you feel like you
Can't do it for yourself
Then do it for us
