Felons and Revolutionaries is the debut album by the American band Dope. The album was released in 1999 on Epic Records and has sold over 236,000 copies in the United States being the best-selling album to date. It was re-released on July 18, 2000, with the single "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" (the band's track from the American Psycho soundtrack) as a bonus track. "Pig Society", "Everything Sucks", "Sick", and "Debonaire" were also released as singles, but did not chart.
All tracks by Edsel Dope, excpet for where noted.
The track listing on the back cover of some pressings does not list the song "Fuck tha Police" as appearing on the record. This is most likely due to a typographical error, censorship, or the producers using too much of the space on the back of the album for the artwork. The original pressing for the album's Canadian release does list the song on the back cover. There are also reports that some versions of the album actually did not contain this song.
Simplistic, Domestic, Shit life processed to fit in place
Pathetic, ascetic, shit life, depressed to fill in space
Neglected, rejected, who wants this anyway
Defected, directed, hating life everyday
Who asked you to cry for me
Who asked you to lie for me
Who knows who I wanna be
You ask, but you dont ask me
She's pretty, how bout me, shit life
Are looks all that you see
Plastic, elastic, who wants this anyway
Dynamic, satanic, and all the things you say
Who asked you to pray for me
Who said to believe in me
Who has to pretend for me
I'm asking you answer me
You think you're something
You're fucked in the head
You think you're something
Well I dont think so
You think you're something
You're already dead
You think you're something
Well I dont think so
Irritated, frustrated, shit life
Wont hear a word I say
Who asked you to write to me
Who asked you to try for me
Who asked you to live for me
