I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts

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
I must not think bad thoughts

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 can't go down there

I can't 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 must not think bad thoughts
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

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

Glitter-disco-synthesizer night school
All this noble savage drum drum drum

Astronauts go back in time
To hang out with the cave people
It's about time
It's about space

It's about some people in the strangest places
Woody Guthrie sang about b-e-e-t-s not b-e-a-t-s
I must not think bad thoughts

I must not think bad thoughts

I must not think bad thoughts

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
I must not think bad thoughts

I must not think bad thoughts
