作词 : Dead Kennedys | |
Finally got to washington in the middle of the night | |
I couldn't wait | |
I headed straight for the capitol mall | |
My heart began to pound | |
Yahoo! it really exists | |
The american international pictures logo | |
I looked up at that capitol building | |
Couldn't help but wonder why | |
I felt like saying "hello, old friend" | |
Walked up the hill to touch it | |
Then i unzipped my pants | |
And pissed on it when nobody was looking | |
Like a great eternal klansman | |
With his two flashing red eyes | |
Turn around he's always watching | |
The washington monument pricks the sky | |
With flags like pubic hair ringed 'round the bottom | |
The symbols of our heritage | |
Lit up proudly in the night | |
Somehow fits to see the homeless people | |
Passed out on the lawn | |
So this is where it happens | |
The power games and bribes | |
All lobbying for a piece of ass | |
Of the stars and stripes of corruption | |
Makes me feel so ashamed | |
To be an american | |
When we're too stuck up to learn from our mistakes | |
Trying to start another viet nam | |
Whilke fiddling while rome burns at home | |
The boss says, "you're laid off. blame the japanese" | |
"america's back," alright | |
At the game it plays the worst | |
Strip mining the world like a slave plantation | |
No wonder others hate us | |
And the hitlers we handpick | |
To bleed their people dry | |
For our evil empire | |
The drug we're fed | |
To make us like it | |
Is god and country with a band | |
People we know who should know better | |
Howl, "america riles. let's go to war!" | |
Business scams are what's worth dying for | |
Are the soviets our worst enemy? | |
We're destroying ourselves instead | |
Who cares about our civil rights | |
As long as i get paid? | |
The blind me-generation | |
Doesn't care if life's a lie | |
So easily used, so proud to enforce | |
The stars and stripes of corruption | |
Let's bring it all down! | |
Tell me who's the real patriots | |
The archie bunker slobs waving flags? | |
Or the people with the guts to work | |
For some real change | |
Rednecks and bombs don't make us strong | |
We loot the world, yet we can't even feed ourselves | |
Our real test of strength is caring | |
Not the toys of war we sell the world | |
Just carry on, thankful to be farmed like worms | |
Old glory for a blanket | |
As you suck on your thumbs | |
Real freedom scares you | |
'cos it means responsibility | |
So you chicken out and threaten me | |
Saying, "love it or leave it" | |
I'll get beat up if i criticize it | |
You say you'll fight to the death | |
To save your worthless flag | |
If you want a banana republic that bad | |
Why don't you go move to one | |
But what can just one of us do? | |
Against all that money and power | |
Trying to crush us into roaches? | |
We don't destroy society in a day | |
Until we change ourselves first | |
From the inside out | |
We can start by not lying so much | |
And treating other people like dirt | |
It's easy not to base our lives | |
On how much we can scam | |
And you know | |
It feels good to lift that monkey off our backs | |
I'm thankful i live in a place | |
Where i can say the things i do | |
Without being taken out and shot | |
So i'm on guard against the goons | |
Trying to take my rights away | |
We've got to rise above the need for cops and laws | |
Let kids learn communication | |
Instead of schools pushing competition | |
How about more art and theater instead of sports? | |
People will always do drugs | |
Let's legalize them | |
Crime drops when the mob can't price them | |
Budget's in the red? | |
Let's tax religion | |
No one will do it for us | |
We'll just have to fix ourselves | |
Honesty ain't all that hard | |
Just put rambo back inside your pants | |
Causing trouble for the system is much more fun | |
Thank you for the toilet paper | |
But your flag is meaningless to me | |
Look around, we're all people | |
Who needs countries anyway? | |
Our land, i love it too | |
I think i love it more than you | |
I care enough to fight | |
The stars and stripes of corruption | |
Let's bring it all down! | |
If we don't try | |
If we just lie | |
If we can't find | |
A way to do it better than this | |
Who will? |
