Ted, Just Admit It…

Ted, Just Admit It… is a Jane’s Addiction song written in 1987. The song is frequently mis-titled as Nothing’s Shocking.

The lines “There’s gonna be people turning up in canyons, there are gonna be people being shot in Salt Lake City. Because the police there aren’t willing to accept, what I think they know. And they know I didn’t do these things” is a recorded quote from serial killer Ted Bundy.

Trent Reznor mixed this song with the Diamanda Galas song I Put A Spell On You for the medley Sex is Violent that appears on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack.

Lyrics

Everybody’s so full of shit
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody….
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah….

There’s gonna be people turning up in canyons,
There are gonna be people being shot in Salt Lake City
Because the police there aren’t willing to accept, what I think they know
And they know I didn’t do these things…

Camera got them images
Camera got them all
Nothing’s shocking…
Showed me everybody
Naked and disfigured
Nothing’s shocking…
And then he came
Now sister’s
Not a virgin anymore
Her sex is violent…

Camera got them images
Camera got them all
Nothing’s shocking…
Showed me everybody
Naked and disfigured
Nothing’s shocking…
And then he came
Now sister’s
Not a virgin anymore
Her sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Go!

The T.V.’s got them images
The T.V.’s got them all
It’s not shocking!
Every half an hour
Someone’s captured and
The cop moves them along…
Well, it’s just like the show before
Now the news is
Just another show
With sex and violence…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent…
Sex is violent!
Go!

I am the killer of people
You look like a meatball
I’ll throw away your toothpick
And ask for your giveness

Because of this thing!
Because of this thing!
Because of this thing!

That’s in me
Is it not in you?
Is it not your problem?
A baby to a mother…
Oh!

You talk too much
To your scapegoat
That’s what I say
He tells you everyone is stupid
That’s what he thinks!

Snapshots,
Make a girl look cheap
Like a tongue extended
A baby’s to a mother

Oh!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Violent!
Violent!
Violent!
Violent!
Violent!
Violent!
