Suicidal Tendencies Cyco Speak Lyrics:
Mike Clark: Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to
interrupt you from your listening pleasure...
I'd like to have your undivided attention
please... and please welcome the honorable Cyco
Miko to the podium thank you. Mike Miur: Thank you
very much I'd like to thank brother Clark from
the Suicidal Family for that fine greeting.
Anyhow, I wanna jump in real quick so we can get
back to the music; it's jammin' and I know you
know it and I know it too. But sometimes you got
to go to that extra level, take another step, step
back, and get a running start on it. See right now
I have to get to a point, a point most people
won't go because it's a little bit to close to
the truth, and the truth isn't somethin'
that's gonna benefit them in the way that the
want it to be. See my dad taught me a long time
ago, it's not what someone does it's why they
do it that really matters. And that's what you
should judge'em for. People can be the nicest
person in the world, but that's only to get you
to think they're nice, so they can let down the
guard a little bit in your door and then you go in
there door and they mess with your mind. Anyhow,
too many people tryin' to get you to think the
way they want you to think; what we say, is trying
to get you to think, whatever way that may be, but
to realize the way you're thinkin' may not be
the right way and give it a little extra thought.
So with that in mind, the question is, what do we
do why we do? Everyone's got a motivation and
sometimes you got to judge that to see where their
power's comin' from or where they're
tryin' to throw it. See our motivation, bein'

in the band, what we're tryin' to get across,
is this right here, that little extra level. You
see most people think they think but they're not
really thinkin' so they start thinkin' cause
they thought they already thought, but they never
did in the first place so it's their own little
safety level. So I sit down and said, if there's
all these people so smart thinkin' so good, how
come every day of my life there's so many damn
stupid people doin' stupid things. See a wise
man once told me, he said, "Mike, there's two
clubs, there's the stupid people and the smart
people. There ain't nobody blockin' the door
at the stupid people entrance, anyone can go
there. But the smart entrance, it's a little
more exclusive." So what you wanna belong to?
The country club, or the cardboard shack? The
penthouse or the outhouse? Seems like an easy
decision to me. So what we're all thinkin'
about right now is what we're talkin' about,
what we're talkin' about is what we're
thinkin' about, and that's the whole point:
you should think before you talk. So where we're
at right now is a place that we want to go: a
little bit of help. See: everyday, everywhere you
go, people do stupid things. Three hundred and
sixty five days out of the year, people not
thinkin'. People that have the ability to think,
that aren't thinkin'. So what we want to do is
nominate one day. Call it International Don't Be
Stupid Day. Now what this is gonna do is be a
little reminder, maybe we could wear a pin, maybe
you could send a tape to somebody, and when they
start to do somethin' you say, "whoa, whoa,
whoa. Hold on there partner. Today is Don't Be
Stupid Day, so you can't do that." So what we
want you to do is just take a twenty four hours
out of your life, think about all them dumb things
that you just go right ahead and do, when you know
damn well you wouldn't want anyone else to do
it, if you really cared about'em. So start
carin' about yourself, start usin' your mind,
and as we say, start your brain.
