lyrics

They hit the racks and shook the indie playpen
With a great big trashy noise
Then they vanished mysteriously
And came back twenty pound lighter
Stepford Rockers!

A brave new role model for women
Tailor-made to please the boys
Just got back from a recent tour
Of Apollonia 6’s garage sale
Stepford Rockers!

One day you’ll change your tune
Before you know what’s happened to you
Don’t scoff, my friend
You’re next on the conversion list
It takes a certain length of time
But one day you wake up
And you’re not there anymore.

Now they’re springing up everywhere
Boy and girl pods in second hand poses
Bulldoze the ruins of the underground
To gentrify the neighborhood of your mind
Stepford Rockers!

Beware my friend
It could happen to you one day
Beware my friend
You’ll be playing “Free Bird” one day
It’ll be a joke the first time
But it’ll be a tribute before you’re through.

They’re all so wonderful
Young hot to trot super-creatures
Slender slices of prime cut long pig
Wrapped in leather and topped with mousse
They never have any problems
Give or take an OD or two
They’ll never have bad sex
And they’ll never test positive
Stepford Rockers!

Beware my friend
It could happen to you one day
Beware my friend
It could happen to you one day.

Greil Marcus of the Village Voice described them as a “small-time San Francisco combo that wears their defeated leftist politics on their sleeves and can open for the Mekons without letting you forget them when the headliners come on.” ... more
