  • If you don't like what you see here
    Nobody wants to take you prisoner
    So let me make it nice and clear dear
    The exit is right there
    I don't mean to be rude dude
    But you'd better change your attitude

    I don't like what I see here

    You're all invited to the party
    You know you didn't have to come
    No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun

    If you don't like what you see here
    Get the funk out
    We won't try to force feed you
    Get the funk out

    Hey, Patrick!
    Not bad, for a pasty-faced white boy!

    You can't please everybody
    But everybody cannot please me
    That's why I do what I want to
    So why don't you do, do it to, do it to me, hey
    So if you don't like what you see here
    You can always leave the country

    I don't like what I see here

    You're all invited to the party
    You know you didn't have to come
    No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun

    If you don't like what you see here
    Get the funk out
    We won't try to force feed you
    Get the funk out
    If you don't like what you see here
    (All I see is pornograffitti, all I hear is pornograffitti)
    Get the funk out
    (It's a monster, we all have it in us)
    (The American dream)
    We won't try to force feed you
    (I need more money, I need more money, just a little more money, just a little more money)
    Get the funk out
    (Everybody's got a need, everybody's got to feed)
    If you don't like what you see here
    (He-man woman hater, He-man woman hater, He-man woman hater)
    Get the funk out
    (Dancing to the decadence dance)
    We won't try to force feed you

  • Anonymous from NetherlandsA band of extremes. This song is one of my rock favorites of the 90's, but I really can't stand 'More than words, it is one of my least favorite songs of the 90s.'.
