Lyrics

The Kid Creole killed all of his own people
Instigate the beat genuflecting in the steeple
Video killed what we once stood for
Who we going to look to now?

If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me
If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me
 
Kid Creole killed all of his own people
Instigate the beat genuflecting in the steeple
Video instilled what we once stood for
Who we going to look to now?

If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me
If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me
If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me
If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me

Press eject, and give me the tape
If you know what’s good for you
What’s good for you
Press eject, and give me the tape
If you know what’s good for you
What’s good for you
Press eject, and give me the tape
If you know what’s good for you
What’s good for you
Ghetto blasting on the basement floor
Ghetto blasting on the basement floor
Ghetto blasting on the basement floor

If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me
If these walls could speak
I wouldn’t tell them anything
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me

I don’t
If you know what’s good for you
I don’t
Give me the tape
I don’t
If you know what’s good for you
I don’t

Ghetto blasting on the basement floor
