use my friends and put us down
I don't need to bicker with you
go burn the Capitol right to the ground
if your precious ideals are so true
second-hand activist why do you preach
you act like you're some kind of master or priest
you're hung up on garments and haircuts and flesh
your experiments are just like all the rest
how do you feel when you're out in the street
or when you're alone in a bed
I wrote and recorded hundreds of songs and they will live on when I'm dead
so go right ahead and talk and talk
'cause you're too afraid to sing
another white man on stolen land
we'd kill you if you were a king
if you're such an intellectual man
then go teach politics don't be in a band
you're hung up on garments and haircuts and flesh
your experiments are just like all the rest
