Finally got to washington in the middle of the night
I couldnt 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
Couldnt 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 hes 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 were too stuck up to learn from our mistakes
Trying to start another viet nam
Whilke fiddling while rome burns at home
The boss says, "youre laid off. blame the japanese"
"americas 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 were fed
To make us like it
Is God and country with a band
People we know who should know better
Howl, "america riles. lets go to war!"
Business scams are whats worth dying for
Are the soviets our worst enemy?
Were destroying ourselves instead
Who cares about our civil rights
As long as I get paid?
The blind me-generation
Doesnt care if lifes a lie
So easily used, so proud to enforce
The stars and stripes of corruption
Lets bring it all down!
Tell me whos the real patriots
The archie bunker slobs waving flags?
Or the people with the guts to work
For some real change
Rednecks and bombs dont make us strong
We loot the world, yet we cant 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"
Ill get beat up if I criticize it
You say youll fight to the death
To save your worthless flag
If you want a banana republic that bad
Why dont 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 dont 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
Its 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
Im thankful I live in a place
Where I can say the things I do
Without being taken out and shot
So Im on guard against the goons
Trying to take my rights away
Weve 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
Lets legalize them
Crime drops when the mob cant price them
Budgets in the red?
Lets tax religion
No one will do it for us
Well just have to fix ourselves
Honesty aint 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, were 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
Lets bring it all down!
If we dont try
If we just lie
If we cant find
A way to do it better than this
Who will?
