I've got a friend who I hardly see nAnd one night she calls me nShe says I'm in your old city ncan you tell me where's the dope spot? nI said I don't really know and if I did I wouldn’t tell you nYou can screw yourself up, you don't need me to help you nBesides the only dope worth shooting lives in the District of Columbia nShe told me to shut the fuck up. nnAt school they taught me how to sit at a desk nAnd the TV set taught me who to respect nAnd the movies said it would be sexy to die in a car wreck nAnd the news said panic! Everything's fine! nAnd they push you through their education mills, nMake your mind soft enough just to bend to their wills. nIf it bends a little different they stuff you full of pills. nNow you wonder why you're so fucked up. nnYou say peace is patriotic but I don't understand. nAre you and me living on the piece of land? nDo you remember when the democrats ran with the klan? nDo you remember when the NAFTA wall went up? nAnd we'll shoot at you for crossing the border nYou should just be happy with your maquiladoras. nEven though a third of this country used to be yours. nMake shoes for us, and shut the fuck up. nnAn election came and an election went nAnd I paid my dues then the union spent nEvery last cent on some democrat shit nAnd it's been eight years since the minimum wage went up. nAnd I work five days and then recover for two. nAnd every two weeks I pay the government my dues. nThey spend it on a war that I didn't choose. nThis system is so fucked up. nnnnn
