  • Hate the game, not the player

    I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
    Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
    Global warming, radioactive sites
    Imperialistic wrongs and the animal rights, yeah

    Why think of all the bad things, when life is so good?
    Why help with an "am", when there's always a "could"?
    Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea
    Outside of California, it's foreign policy

    I don't want changes, I've no reaction
    Your dilemma, they're my distraction

    That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
    No way to go, Franco Un-American
    No way to go, Franco Un-American
    That's no way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American

    I never looked around, never second-guessed
    Then I read some Howard Zinn, now I'm always depressed
    Now I can't sleep from years of apathy
    All because I read a little Noam Chomsky

    I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation
    I wear uncomfortable shoes, 'cause of globalization
    Watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth
    I'm listening to The Dead Kennedys and Wasted Youth

    I see no world peace, 'cause of zealous armed forces
    No breath-mints, 'cause they're from de-hoofed horses
    (Now) I can't believe what an absolute failure
    The president's laughing 'cause we voted for Nader

    We all know George Bush is an imbecile
    He loves Dick, but he hates homosexuals (boom)
    I'm sick and tired of the embarrassment
    The whole world wants us to kill our fucking

    Wanna move north, be a Canadian
    Hang down low with the nice Australians
    I don't want to be another "I-don't-care"-ican
    What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American?

    What? What? Did you just say, "Jerry Garcia"?
    What does that fucking mean?
    Hey! Can you get him out of here? Okay
    (It's mean they're gonna name) He's distracting me with, you know?
    They're gonna name ice cream after you, Phat Mike
    (Chunky Drunky) That's like saying
    You know what that's like saying? It's like saying Adolph Hitler
    Pretty much
    No, they didn't name ice cream after Adolph Hitler
    No
    It's okay if you like hippie music, it's okay
    That would be a good one, though, you know, 'cause personally, I love Strawberry Hitler ice cream
    Pralines & Hitler?
    It's got little tiny nutsies in it, it's good Writer/s: MICHAEL JOHN BURKETT
