Hmm!
Yeah!
Oooooh, yeahhh-aayy!

On guard!
Defend yourself!
Movin' right on you, baby!
On guard!
Defend yourself!
Down to get down, (down!) baby

Turn me loose
We shall overcome
Where did you get that funk from, huh?

Turn me on
They're spoiling the fun
Let's shoot them with the bop gun

On guard!
Defend yourself!
Movin' right around, (hey baby)
We got to get over the hump (x4)
On guard!
Defend yourself!
Bound to get down, baby (hey!)

Turn me loose
Let me shoot them with the bop gun, ha, hmm

Endangered species (x3)
Let me shoot them with the bop gun
Endangered species (x4)

We got to get over the hump (x4)

When the syndrome is around (on guard!)
Don't let your guard down
All you've got to do is
Call on the funk, ohhh

On guard!
Defend yourself!
We shall overcome
Where did you get that funk from?
They're spoiling the fun
Shoot them with the bop gun
Ohh, hey baby
On guard!
Protect yourself!
Movin' in on you, baby
I don't think you hear me
I said they're spoiling the fun
We shall overcome
We got to shoot them with the bop gun
Hey, babe
Bound to get down
Closing in on you

When the syndrome is around
Don't let your guard down
All you got to do is
Call on the funk (moving in on you, baby)

To dance is a protection
Funk is your connection
All you got to do is
Funk and dance

On guard!
Protect yourself!
On guard!
Defend yourself!

Endangered species (x5)
Shoot them with the bop gun
Endangered species (x7)
You got to shoot them with the bop gun
Endangered species (x6)
You got to shoot them with the bop gun

When the syndrome is around
Don't let your guard down
All you've got to do is
Call on the funk

On guard!
Defend yourself!
Movin' in on you
Turn me loose
We shall overcome
Where'd you get that funk from, huh?
I still said they're spoiling the fun
Shoot them with my bop gun
Hey, babe
Turn me loose, huh
Watch me get over the hump, ha!
Hey, babe

I got to get over the hump (x10) (we got to get on by the hump)
On guard!
Hey babe
I got to get over the hump (x4) (got to get on by the hump)
On guard!
I got to get over the hump
Watch me, I'm gonna shoot them with my bop gun
I got to get over the hump (x8) (I got to get on by the hump, hey baby)
On guard!
Ooh
I got to get over the hump (x9) (I got to get on by the hump)
On guard!
Shoot them with my bop gun
I got to get over the hump (x9)
Hey babe, hey babe, ohh!
On guard!
Defend yourself
I'm gonna shoot them with my bop gun
I got to get over the hump (x8)
Watch me

Yo, this is mood control (yo-ho!)
Saying you might as well pay attention (this is mood control)
You can't afford free speech
(mood, mood, mood, someone's funking with the mood!)

Mood control is designed to render funkable
Ideas brought to you by the makers of Mr. Prolong
Better known as Urge Overkill
The pimping of the Pleasure Principle

Oh, but we'll be pecking lightly
Like a woodpecker with a headache
'Cause it's cheaper to funk
Than it is to pay attention
You dig?
Huck-a-buck
A-Lo and behold, someone's funking with the mood control

When you're taking every kind of pill
(deprogram, program)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill
(peck me lightly like a woodpecker with a headache)

When you're taking every kind of pill
(Funk! The nonprofit organization)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill
Where'd you get your funk from (where'd you get that funk from?)

Heh! Name that feeling!
Would you trade your funk for what's behind the third door?
The big deal!
Heads I win, tails you lose!

How do you spell relief?
Huck-a-buck, sucker!

When you're taking every kind of pill
(Ho! The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill

When you're taking every kind of pill
(You deserve a break today)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill
(Have it your way)
Where'd you get that funk from?
(Ooh, who was that? ha ha ha ha ha ha, ohh ohh ohh)

The salvation of inspiration is the motivation
Fasten your safety belt
While I take you face-to-face with the nosiest computer I know
Where'd you get that funk from?
When I count to ten I want you to jump up! Stay there!
Oh, ho! But don't come down til I Flash the Light.
You deserve a break today, have it your way
Funk is not domestically produced. Ho!
There's nothing that the proper attitude won't render...funkable.
Where'd you get your funk from? Funktism! Hey!

When you're taking every kind of pill
(Mood control!)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill

When you're taking every kind of pill
(Urge overkill!)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill
(yeah, ho!)
Where'd you get that funk from?
(Program)
Where'd you get that funk from?
(Deprogram)
(And reprogram)

?????

Heads I win, tails you lose (how do you spell relief?)
Would you trade your funk...for this? (you deserve a break today)
Or that? (have it your way)
A funk a day keeps the nose away...ain't it true!
I ain't gonna hold the lettuce, the pickles or the mustard (ha ha!)
Yo!

Step up and dance until I tell you to come down
You deserve a break today, sucker!
I'm gonna flash the light and flop the j, down again????

This is mood de-control
Saying pay more attention
For free speech is high finance
possible funkability???
Ho, Let the funk begin!
Do anybody have change for funk?

Where'd you get your funk from?
Oh yes, this is heavyweight funk
Put up your dukes, haha!
You want to funk around with me, oh!

This is mood de-control, yo-ho!
The home of the P.Funk, the Bomb
Mind your wants 'cause there's someone that wants your mind

When you're taking every kind of pill
(The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill
(How do you spell relief?)

When you're taking every kind of pill
(The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill)
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill
(whoa, this is the big pill)
(yeah, ho!)

Where'd you get that funk from?
(there they go again, there they go again)
(You might as well pay attention, free speech is too high)
Where'd you get that funk from?
(Huck-a-buck! Ho!)
(You deserve a break today)
(How do you spell relief?)
Where'd you get that funk from?
(Hey, wind me up!)

Yeah!
Take it to the bridge, hahaha
Let's take it to the stoop???
This is mood control

Where'd you get your funk from? (ho!)
You're in the presence of your future
You deserve a break today
Have it your way
I ain't gonna hold the lettuce, the pickles or the mustard
A funk a day keep the Nose away
Mind your wants 'cause someone wants your mind
Funk is a non-profit organization
Peck me lightly, like a woodpecker with a headache
'Cause funk is not domestically produced
It is responsive to your mood
You can score it any day
On WEFUNK, we-funk, HO!

Name that feeling, baby
This is mood de-control
Program, reprogram and deprogram

Funkentelechy (this is mood decontrol, urge you to Funk On!)
Funkentelechy (oh ho, how's your funk-en-tel-echy?)
Funkentelechy (ideas brought to you by the makers of urge overkill)

Do not respond
This has been a test
Ha ha ha ha ha!

And once again the Pleasure Principle has been rescued
With the aid of the funk
(this is Mr. Prolong)

How's your funk-en-te-lechy? (I have to leave early today, ha ha ha)
And in doing so, (How's your funk-entelechy?)
Freed the possibilities of funk beyond compare (How's your funk-entelechy?)
Program, deprogram, reprogram (How's your funk-entelechy?)

When you're taking every kind of pill (How do you spell relief)
Nothing ever seems to cure your ill (You deserve a break today)

When you're taking every kind of pill (ha ha ha ha)
Nothing ever seems to cure your ill (have it your way, this is the doctor)

When you're taking every kind of pill
(saying, the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill)
Nothing ever seems to cure your ill (what's happening?)
Ha ha ha

Ahh rum pum pum do waa
There's so much syndrome, baby (there's so much syndrome, baby)

When all the smiles are out of town
You're going round and round
You find the Syndrome

When your ups lift you down
Your placebo is too weak
You're in the Syndrome

You're in the Syndrome
And the intensity of their ????
Is equal to the intensity they enjoy

There's so much Syndrome, baby

When all the thing is out of sound
There's no coming round
Play with the Syndrome

What used to be such fun to do
Can often lead you weak
Into the Syndrome

Livin' at the top of the Syndrome
Placebo Syndrome
(x12)

There's so much Syndrome, baby (there's so much Syndrome, baby)

When all the smiles are out of town
You're falling round and round
You find the Syndrome
When your ups lift you down
Your placebo is too weak
You're in the Syndrome
(x2)

So good, Syndrome, livin' in the Syndrome
Syndrome, baby!

Livin' at the top of the Syndrome
Placebo Syndrome
