Lyrics

Rip it up

Crack that lid!
Brand new tin of black
Ink up a plate.
Clear the drying rack

If the lid just won’t come off
Gotta grip it
If you haven't etched enough,
Gotta dip it
If your edges are too rough
Gonna rip it

Now slip it, into place
Line it up, get it straight
Roll forward on the bed
Pull back the blanket, check your plate
Now rip it, rip it up

When the tape is over long
Gotta snip it
If the pressure's over strong
Gonna rip it
When it's all just going wrong
Gotta nip it

I say nip it, in the bud
I say rip it, rip it up

Crack that lid!
Brand new tin of black
Ink up a plate.
Clear the drying rack.

When the lino comes your way
Better chip it
Gotta face a certain way?
Better flip it
Wanna put the screen away?
Better strip it

Now slip it into place
Line it up, get it straight
Roll forward on the bed
Pull back the blanket, check your plate
Now slip it into place
Ink it up, get it straight
Roll forward on the bed
Pull back the blanket. Nothing great?
Then rip it, rip it up

Gerald Casale & Mark Allen Mothersbaugh (Devo), Whip it, 1980.
