Lyrics

Current of voices intoning Pseudo quasi-propositions N-n-n-narco-p-p-p-psycho Non-disconfirmable hypotheses K-k-k-kick them K-k-k-kick them K-k-k-kick them all out of here

Oh there's this yik-yak, oh so much yik-yak Yik-yak, yik-yak, yik-yak!

It's not an umbrella, it's not just good fun no It's not just entertainment, it's not for everyone We have no responsibility to it or those through whom it comes It's not the art form of the present, it's not a way of knowledge

No things are still No things are silence Silence isn't nothing Nor is stillness Nothing is sacred Nothing is all

This yik-yak, just yik-yak Come on oh yik-yak, yik-yak, yik-yak!

Yik-yak Yik-yak Yik-yak Oh, yik-yak Oh, yik-yak Yik-yak Yik-yak Yik-yak

Chronology

Interpretations

Mayo Thompson, 2005[1]

I think singles are a really good thing, because you can get into a dialogue with things like Yik Yak, which was aimed at Patti Smith and Judas Priest. I mean he’s like, Ya’ll think that Rock and Roll is the art form of the present. Well, that’s nice.

The stuttering may be a reference to The Who's song "My Generation".
