Jane's Addiction - Ted, Just Admit It...
Camera got them images
Camera got them all
Nothing's shocking...
Showed me everybody
Naked and disfigured
Nothing's shocking...
And then he came
Now sister's
Not a virgin anymore
Her s** is violent...
The T. V. 's got them images
T. V. 's got them all
It's not shocking!
Every half an hour
Someone's captured and
The cop moves them along...
It's just like the show before
The news is
Just another show
With s** and violence...
S** is violent...
S** is violent...
S** is violent...
S** is violent...
S** is violent...
S** is violent...
S** is violent!
I am the killer of people
You look like a meatball
I'll throw away your toothpick
And ask for your giveness
Because of this thing!
Because of this thing!
Because of this thing!
That's in me
Is it not in you?
Is it not your problem?
A baby to a mother..
You talk too much
To your scapegoat
That's what I say
He tells you everyone is stupid
That's what he thinks!
Snapshots
Make a girl look cheap
Like a tongue extended
A baby's to a mother
S** is violent!
S** is violent!
S** is violent!
S** is violent!
Taken from an interview from late 1988 (on the Words and Music promo) Interviewer: "We've said before, 'Ted, Just Admit It...' is not about Ted Bundy the mass killer, but you did use..." Perry: "It was just a coincidence. We found a piece of tape that had a voice on it and it just happened to be his voice too. Which is another real, real big coincidence. And then I found out that he was a killer so that really threw me." Interviewer: "Now, the big line in that song is the repetition 'sex is violent, sex is violent.' Is that the way you feel?" Perry: "Yeah. And love is like hate. It's kind of-- everything is relative. Don't you think?" Interviewer: "Does every action have its reaction? Does every yin have its yang? Is that part of it?" Perry: "Yeah, I would say so, but that's not really the angle of thought that I'm thinking of. I'm thinking that there's all these fine lines that separate things; let's say good and evil, right? And sex and violence have a very fine line that sometimes are crossed."
