The facts we hate, we'll never meet 
Walkin' down the road, everybody yellin' hurry up, 
hurry up 
But I'm waiting for you, I must go slow 
I must not think bad thoughts 
What 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, 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, and I must not think bad 
thoughts 
I'm guilty of murder of innocent men 
Innocent woman and innocent children 
Thousands of 'em 
My planes, my guns, my money, my soldiers 
My blood on my hands -- it's all my fault 
I must not think bad thoughts... 
The facts we hate, you'll never hear us 
I hear the radio's finally gonna play "new 
music" 
You know, the "British Invasion" 
But what about the Minutemen, Flesheaters, D.O.A., 
Big Boys and the Black Flag 
We're 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 ape 
people 
It's about time, it's about space 
It's about some people in a strange place 
Woody Guthrie sang about B-E-E-T-S not B-E-A-T-S 
I must not think bad thoughts...
