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

What is this world coming to?

Both sides are right but both sides are murdered

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 can't go down there, I can't understand it

I'm a no good coward

And 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

The facts we hate

You'll never hear us

I hear the radio, it's finally gonna play new music

You know the british invasion

But what about the

Minutemen, flesheaters, DOA, big boys, and the black flag

Were the last American bands to get played on the radio

Please bring the flag, please bring the flag

Glitter disco synthesizer, night school

All the 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-A-T-S, not B-E-A-T-S

I must not think bad thoughts

I must not think bad thoughts

The facts we hate
