Biography:
Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will.

Bm A E
Bm A
Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole
E G
Is there somebody that you want to talk to
D CG
You know that pretty soon, you'll be able to fly
G
How is this going to affect you
D
Do you think it might wreck you
A*
Your friends might reject you
DC
You say you took it too far
G
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...
DG D G

B A
Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
E G
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
D CG
And one day she just walked into that magazine
G
I wonder if she'll ever come back
D
They all said she would crack
A*
They said her mind was one-track

Every time you move your lips
E G
Well, let me give you a few tips
D CG
Yesterday you were too young
G
Tomorrow you will be too old
To regret all the things you've done
D
Who you trying to hustle
A*
Somebody want to show your muscle
DC G
Second hand excuses never went too far
D
What's this scene you're making
A*
Your ideas have been taken
DC
We'll seek when you awaken
G
Alone in someone's car
D
You just stood there shaking
A*
You stood there shaking
DC
They said you were faking
G
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
