1.I`ve been on tenter-hooks ending in dirty looks,
Listening to the Muzak, thinking `bout this `n` that.
She said that`s that. I don`t wanna chitter chat.
Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat.
2.Down in the pleasure centre, hell bent or heaven sent,
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander.
There`s nothing under hand that she wouldn`t understand.
3.She`s been a bad girl. She`s like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it, she`s like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her. You wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her, putting up your temp`rature.
4.[E7]Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin,
You put your passion out under the presure pin.
[B7]Fall into submission, hit and run transmision.
No use wishing now for any other sin
Chorus :
E7

Pump it up when you don`t really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
