I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts - X

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
