Universal Music says music is not dead enough, tries to kill music more. by Fussbett 03/30/2008, 2:18am PDT
Universal Music Group pulled 3 tracks for the Be Your Own Pet domestic release. Why are these tracks on the UK release and not the US?

They were rejected by Universal lawyers for being "too violent." Pearl sighed when recounting this circumstance.

"When I found out that the songs were going to get taken off, I was just like, 'Is there anybody I can talk to?' " Pearl said. "It's like, I don't even really know who these people are. There's no one you can talk to to try to argue your case. Other than that, Universal has been great. But I guess that's just what happens when you decide to have something to do with a major label. They're going to be scared of anything that's not completely cookie cutter."

*shrug*

Drinking Coca-Cola all night
Ooh, baby, wanna get in a fight!
Breaking glass bottles is oh-so-fun
Let's go and kill someone!
Living in this city, I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
What's the point in this town?

Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm livin' in a black hole!
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole!
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm livin' in a black hole!
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole!

Stayin' out 'til six in the mornin'
Trying to find something that's not boring
We could go party down the street
and show those kids to the beat!
Eating pizza is really great!
So is destroying everything you hate!
I just wanna lose all control
??? fucking hell hole

I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
to your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway, cuz I've got a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass,
we'll wait with knives after class!

Now I'm going to juvey for teenage homicide
It'll would've been cool if you stayed by my side
And you know that you wouldn't have had to die,
but now every single night I cry

If only what you wrote in my yearbook was true--
then I wouldn't be stuck in fucking cell block 2
But I don't regret what I've done,
'cuz in the end, it was fun!

That's some Copkiller shit right there!
