Break the Mold

by Darryl Cherney

(E) Well you say you don't like Jello Biafra
Since he left the Dead Kennedy's
You (A) think it's absurd he's doing spoken word
But I'm (E) glad he's doing as he please
'Cause (B) you might think that Jello is a-gettin' old
But if (E) you don't like old Jello you can break the mold

Chorus:

(E) Break the mold
Break the mold
Break the (A) mold
Break the (E) mold

Don't (B) tell me that your Jello is a-gettin' old
If (E) you don't like old Jello you can break the mold
So Jello called up Judi Bari
He said how'd you like to share the stage
She said your testosterone is comin' right through the phone
And then she blew into a rage
But Jello said hey Judi I'll do as I'm told
If you don't like old Jello you can break the mold

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:

Now (A) Jello Biafra's preaching feminism
Writes a (E) column for Ms. Magazine
He's (A) wading his way through the Chalice and the Blade
And (B) Mary Daly's Gyn/Ecology
But (A) Judi Bari is a punk-rockers
She (E) didn't have to learn to be mean
She gives (A) vasectomies live with a butter knife
And she (B) got herself a Mohawk and she dyed it green
Now the William Kennedy Smith trial
Let another white man escape
But Judi Bari said to Jello Biafra
"Dead Kennedy's don't rape"
Yeah, Joe and Jack and Bobby they'sa dead and cold
But it's Judi and Jello live so you can break the mold
(repeat chorus twice)
