We got twenty-nine fingers
And man are we havin’ fun
Twenty-nine fingers
And boy are we havin’ fun
Twenty-nine fingers
And only six are thumbs
We play cheap guitars
And only two lousy drums
Cheap guitars
And only two lousy drums
See us comin’
You’d better get out of the way
We’re the Konks
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re the Konks
And we don’t care
Ow!
We’re the Konks
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re the Konks
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Twenty-nine fingers
And man are we havin’ fun
Twenty-nine fingers
And man are we havin’ fun
Cheap guitars
And only two lousy drums
Cheap guitars
And only two lousy drums
See us comin’
You’d better get out of the way
We’re the Konks
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ow, we’re the Konks
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ow, we’re the Konks
Hey, hey, hey
We’re the Konks
And we don’t care
If I had you I’d hold you like a guitar I could slay you with a well-placed F sharp barre If you don’t want to hear that tune I’ll leave my fingers where they are
And every time I see your face I want to touch it And I know I’ll never touch it I get by, I get by
And I can’t tell how hard I tried I can’t reveal what I can’t hide I said that I was fine, I lied But I can stick around and see you smile from the side
I say William Shakespeare had the right idea Put your passion in a poem she won’t hear If your heart is whole again you can publish it next year
And every time I see your neck I want to kiss it And I know I’ll never kiss it I get by, I get by
And I’ve been in my head too long To know when what I think is wrong But I can write another song And I can stick around and see you as you sing along
I had another set of words to use instead of what I’m singing here The rhymes were intricate and every line was filled with alliteration and the best poetic tricks It demonstrated just how clearly I’m the perfect guy for you to hear But in reality perfection isn’t really what we want so we just throw words at the page And we call it a masterpiece if any part of it sticks
I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been waiting on another bright idea I’ve been working on a song that you won’t hear I’ve been working on a song that you won’t hear I’ve been working on a song for you, dear
And everybody tells me that I’m fine And everybody tells me not to mind And everybody says just toe the line And everybody tells me that the world was made for me to play in but I don’t believe them
you’re keeping in step in the line got your chin held high and you feel just fine because you do what you’re told but inside your heart it is black and it’s hollow and it’s cold
just how deep do you believe? will you bite the hand that feeds? will you chew until it bleeds? can you get up off your knees? are you brave enough to see? do you want to change it?
what if this whole crusade’s a charade and behind it all there’s a price to be paid for the blood on which we dine justified in the name of the holy and the divine
just how deep do you believe? will you bite the hand that feeds? will you chew until it bleeds? can you get up off your knees? are you brave enough to see? do you want to change it?
so naïve to keep holding on to what I want to believe i can see but i keep holding on and on and on and on
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today? If you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway You will never understand it ’cause it happens too fast And it feels so good, it’s like walking on glass
It’s so cool, it’s so hip, it’s so right It’s so groovy, it’s outta sight You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet But it makes no difference ’cause it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can’t have it
It’s cryin’, bleedin’, lying on the floor So you lay down on it and you do it some more You’ve got to share it, so you dare it Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can’t have it Yeah yeah yeah It’s in your face but you can’t grab it Yeah yeah yeah
It’s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin It’s magic, it’s tragic, it’s a loss, it’s a win It’s dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain It’s sad it happened and it’s a shame
You want it all but you can’t have it Yeah yeah yeah It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it!
You want it all but you can’t have it Yeah yeah yeah It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it?
You want it all but you can’t have it Yeah yeah yeah It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! Yeah yeah yeah
It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! What is it? It’s it! Yeah yeah yeah
The sound of God is the screech of tires Lights and magnets, bolts and wires Strayed from the road, this very one Still to come
The sound of tires is the sound of God The electric version The power and blood will pulse through your song Just as long as it Sounds lost Sounds lost Sounds lost
Streaming out of the magnets
Strung together like Christmas lights Twelve whole seconds of history might Lead you from where you went off the track Welcome back
Our electric version calls You alone create the full Spectrum of light, so what could go wrong Just as long as it Sounds lost Sounds lost Sounds lost
Streaming out of the magnets
The card you’re dealt by the crowd goes wild Make believe you are an only child Here are the clothes, please put them on Still to come
A new parade of faith and sparks The electric version harks Back to the day when there was no wrong Just as long as it Sounds lost Sounds lost Sounds lost
When we first met You were all set But me, I was a wreck You picked me up And cleaned me up And taught me self-respect Made a mistake But didn’t break Because I need you so It fell apart But in our heart You know we can’t let go
No no Can’t let go No no Can’t let go
A second chance For our romance But I slipped up again Kept it inside I had to lie So that we could sustain You got too close To hide the truth And so you had to know And now you leave me But believe me I just can’t let go
No no Can’t let go No no Can’t let go
Someday I’m gonna have you Someday you’ll be mine I know it, I know it, I know it Someday we’ll be together Ahhh Someday you’ll be mine But now all I have is Time
Can’t let go No no Can’t let go No no Can’t let go No no Can’t let go
I can’t, can’t let go I can’t, can’t let go I can’t, can’t let go I can’t, I can’t let go No
Had a good idea, just the other day Gonna start a new band and we’ll learn to play Yeah, we’ll be the best If you’re looking for our record at the mall Well here’s the thing, we’ll be called Brainpower
Did I mention, I was drunk When I thought it up, it was kind of dumb No, maybe not the best It is not a good band name No I should have used that very same Brainpower that I’d mentioned before
