The facts we hate We'll never meet Walking down the road Everybody yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up!" But I'm waiting for you I must go slow I must not think bad thoughts
When is this world coming to? Both sides are right But both sides murder I give up Why can't they? I must not think bad thoughts
The civil wars and the uncivilized wars Conflagrations leap out of every poor furnace The food cooks poorly and everyone goes hungry From then on, it's dog eat dog, dog eat body and body eat dog I cant go down there I cant understand it I'm a no good coward An american, too A North American, that is Not a South or a Central or a Native American Oh, I must not think bad thoughts
I'm guilty of murder of innocent men Innocent women, innocent children, thousands of them My planes, my guns, my money, my soul, My blood on my hands, it's all my fault I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts
The facts we hate You'll never hear us I hear the radio is finally gonna play new music You know, the British invasion But what about The Minutemen, Fleasheaters, DOA, Big Boys and The Black Flag? Will the last American band to get played on the radio please bring the flag? Please bring the flag!
