When the party starts on Monday
Christmas starts in June
When no one minds I've just arrived
And I'll be leaving soon
If I return with eyes half-opened
Don't ask me where I was
I do my father's drugs
When every revolution
Is sponsored by the state
There's no bravery in bayonets
And tearin' down the gates
If you see me with a rifle
Don't ask me what it's for
I fight my father's war
A when hunger strikes are fashion
And freedom is routine
A when all the streets in Cleveland
Are named for Martin Luther King
You will see me at the protest
But you'll notice that I drag
I burn my father's flag
So when the party starts on Monday
And Christmas starts in June
A when no one minds I've just arrived
And I'll be leaving soon
If I return with eyes half opened
Don't ask me where I was
I do my father's drugs
I do my father's drugs
