ChavezFilter: I need the lyrics to "Break Up Your Band".

I don’t own the album, my computer’s sound card isn’t working, my Google-Fu is failing me and I’ve got a major deadline coming up. Therefore I’d really appreciate your help in this matter.

Try one of the previous lyrics sites threads for ideas about where to search.

Generally Google isn't the strongest tool for lyric searches, though it can be pressed into service for the purpose with some degree of success.

Right, thanks. I've already tried a couple of those, but now I've added chordie, lyrics.net.usa, MMDI, The Lyrics Made Me Do It, SongMeanings, Lyrically Squared and songtext.net to the list of sites that don't have the lyrics to "Break Up Your Band".

I'm pretty sure it's not an instrumental...

Maybe someone can stream it from here and jot down the lyrics for him - it's only a 2 minute song. I can't turn my speakers up loud enough at work to understand what they're saying - sorry. Sounds a lot like GBV.

Break Up Your Band

I made it up to fool the wax-faced lap dogs
who set the traps and when you're weak, they finally pay you
crave rapid hands with pride and finesse

and you could finger through the piles
let all the drummers come to meet the champions
break up your band
and blast with the cold next to joy
and blast with the cold next to joy
make it stop so you can

I'll make all arrangements
it has been approved
clamp your dreams and push shit through

if you could finger through the piles
let all the drummers come to meet the champions
break up your band
stale, sexless, loud, and vague so stop while you can

From here.
