Sonic Youth - C.B. lyrics

Claude Bessy: I'm the emcee Um... so I'm supposed to be saying let's hear it for Sonic Youth All the way from the states Except uh... actually I'd like about two minutes Of your attention Shut your f**ing face, I want just two minutes of your attention I have a very interesting little story to tell you Two minutes, not very long, right? And it's a... It's a very instructive little story Um... Sonic Youth, um, are a band.. shh shh shh... Uh, they're about to put out a record in this country except their Record company has decided to put a no-no on the record Because of, uh... the cover which is offending some people at Rough Trade. And now, it's not.. I mean it's not very offensive Cover, it's uh, it's got a naked lady, a naked Puerto Rican lady, it's Not very obscene, she's not doing anything weird Uh... it has nothing to do with.. you know, in this day of AIDS, an Uh.. and [?] and all that sh**, uh, you would think the major Alternative record company would have better things to do than Worry about the shape of our bodies. So, I thought I'd let you Know, uh, so... um... next time you go and buy a record, and you Think you're really alternative and groovy, and uh, everybody is In... is into the alternative charts, remember it's just like the other Side except it's a bit, a bit stranger, you know... but just remember It's not uh... there's no f**ing culture there, you know There's just as much censorship among people our age, or you Know.. than anyone else Thurston: We'd like to thank Claude for that delightful speech This song is called The Green Light. It's about green love
