lyrics
Gogol’s Nose
Opened up my eyes to the early morning rays,
The best night of sleep I had had in days.
Hopped out of bed and looked at my face,
Screamed in shock at what was not in place!
A void had opened up right above my lips,
A blank space, flat flesh! I started to flip!
The thing that allowed me to breath in fresh air,
Was completely gone; it was no longer there!
[Chorus]
Spending all your time being so debonair,
Life could be so easy if you just didn’t care.
Make the right impression, you’re in a rat race.
You’d cut off your nose just to spite your face!
Gogol’s Nose! [4 X]
I thought to myself, “That fuckin’ nose!
He’s taken off, stolen some of my clothes!
I’ll need to track him down before he gets too far,
And leaves me with this embarrassing scar.”
So I ran outside and it was there in the news,
The headline in the paper was my very first clue,
My nose had been spotted wearing my cape,
Boarding a carriage and making his escape.
[Chorus]
Spending all your time trying to be a big shot,
Life is so short, appreciate what you got.
You’re rushing here and there; haste makes waste.
You’d cut off your nose just to spite your face!
Gogol’s Nose [4 X]
I hailed a cab and without a pause,
I yelled at the driver, “Follow that schnozz!”
He looked at me strange, but I gave him some dough,
And with that we lurched forward and started to go.
It turns out my nose was impersonating me,
Buying fancy clothing, booze and jewelry.
My reputation was on the line,
I had to stop that proboscis and end his crimes!
I found my nose at work, insulting my boss.
I got him in a bear hug and I started to cuss:
“Listen motherfucker, this nonsense must stop!
Get back on my face, take a place in your spot!”
My nose struggled and tried to get away,
But I punched him in the nose and blood started to spray.
Now defeated and passively,
He cried, “Why on earth would you do this to me?”
[Chorus]
Sending all your time playing to the herd,
And you think that the story of my nose is absurd?
Don’t do nothing special, don’t step out of place,
You’d cut off your nose just to spite your face!
Gogol’s Nose! [8 X]

Sacripolitical (1982 – 1993, 2019 - present) is a punk rock band from Marin County,
CA.
The name Sacripolitical refers to the band members’ attitude toward politics. Just as a person who is sacrilegious is irreverent toward the sacred, Sacripolitical plays songs, like “Peace: Under our Supervision,” “The Nihilist Void,” and “Napalm Baby,” that are politically and philosophically irreverent....more
