(Just a cowbell: CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK. Then a gritty, sliding guitar riff kicks in, sounding like a chainsaw starting up. The drums crash in—fast and driving.)
I saw you walking down the boulevard Trading your soul for a business card You got the silicone soul and the glitter eyes Choking on a diet of sugar-coated lies. They say,"Sign the line, kid, you’re gonna be a star!" But they don't tell you that you won't get far!
(Bass line walks up fast) Yeah, it tastes so good when it hits your tongue But the rot sets in while you’re still young! Spit it out!
( catchy, shout-along vocals) Too much candy will break your teeth! You’re shiny on top but you’re rotten underneath! Yeah, too much candy will break your teeth! Chew it up, spit it out, let the dentist see the grief! (Crack! Snap!)
The Vampires in the suits are raising a toast To the little plastic dolls that they love the most They promise you the gold, they promise you the ring But they steal your voice so you cannot sing! You’re smiling for the camera, looking so sweet While you’re bleeding out on the concrete!
It tastes so good when it hits your tongue But the rot sets in while you’re still young! Spit it out!
Too much candy will break your teeth! You’re shiny on top but you’re rotten underneath! Yeah, too much candy will break your teeth! Chew it up, spit it out, let the dentist see the grief!
(A frantic, bluesy harmonica solo battles with a slide guitar. It sounds chaotic, messy, and fun. The drummer is going wild on the crash cymbals.)
(Music drops to just bass and drums) Cavities... (Cavities...) In your soul... (In your soul...) Fill 'em up with gold... But the truth is gettin' old... (Singer screams) THE TRUTH IS GETTIN' OOOOLLLDDD!
Too much candy will break your teeth! You’re shiny on top but you’re rotten underneath! Yeah, too much candy will break your teeth! One more bite and you’ll find... There’s nothing left to grind!
Break your teeth! (Yeah!) Break your teeth! (Uh-huh!) Don't swallow the sugar, baby! ( abrupt ending: One final snare hit and the sound of someone spitting on the floor. )
