Hey, come on all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way on over in Afghanistan
So put down your books and pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lotta fun!
One, two, three
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
Five, six, seven
What are we fighting for?
Ain't no time to wonder why
Why we’re all gotta die
Hey, come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way on over in Afghanistan
So put down your books and pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lotta fun!
One, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop maybe Iran
Five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain't no time to wonder why
Why we all gotta die
Come on generals, let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Call everyone a terrorist
The only good zombie’s the one that's dead
You know that peace can only be won
When you’ve blown 'em all to kingdom come
One, two, three
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop maybe Iran
Five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain't no time to wonder why
Why we’re all gotta die

Give to the masses
Bread and circuses
Keep them distracted
Just like the Romans did
Boil your holy water
Steep your black tea
Pretend to be Indians
And throw it back to sea
Put your faith in Jesus Christ
Dream of an all white Christmas
Everything’ll be alright
After the inquisition
Whatever your politics
One thing is true
Whoever makes money
Makes all the rules
So, wrap me in my flag
With my bible and cross
Who cares if I’m right
Just don’t tell me I’m wrong
World War III
Will be a conflict of words
Dining on our minds
And devouring our souls
Put your faith in Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ)
Dream of an all white Christmas (All white Christmas)
Everything’ll be alright (Be alright)
After the inquisition (After the inquisition)

I hate when people are not polite
I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my head is on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Psycho Killer
(Qu’est-ce que c’est)
Fa fa fa fa fa far far
You better run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
(Qu’est-ce que c’est)
Fa fa fa fa fa far far
You better run run run run run away
You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho Killer
(Qu’est-ce que c’est)
Fa fa fa fa fa far far
You better run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
(Qu’est-ce que c’est)
Fa fa fa fa fa far far
You better run run run run run away
Realizing what you did tonight
(Ce que j'ai fais ce soir la)
Realizing what you said tonight
(Ce que j'ai fait ce soir)
I know all your hopes
I know all your fears
‘Cause at war
I was the hero
But at home just a…
Psycho killer
You better kill me before I kill you
You better catch me before I kill you
You better hurt me before I kill you
You better kill me before I kill you

I married Starbuck what a mind fuck
Laser lights, her right to fight
Equality of the sexes
Is like a vampire bite
In the age of creativity
On this day of destiny
No more lose or win
Or sanctifying sin
What happened before
Never happen again
What happened before
Never happen again
Marine of the church avoiding the hurt
Less a teacher, more a writer
Equality at its best
Is like a fallen fighters quest
It’s the age of serendipity
On this day of destiny
No more lose or win
Or justifying sin
What happened before
Never happen again
What happened before
Never happen again
Took our final voyage today
People waved their flags and prayed
Slipped the surly bonds of earth
Seeking something new in Plato’s work
Crossing the Atlantic on our way to Mars
Just to touch the hand of God
Just to touch the hand of God
Guys like war
‘Cause girls like the warrior
Guys like war
‘Cause girls, ‘cause girls
What happened before
Never happen again
What happened before
Never happen again

Well Nick he’s got a quick hand
He'll look around the room
But he won't tell you his plan
He's an R.O.T. cadet
Hanging by himself
He’s a loaner kid
And he’s found an automatic gun
In his daddy’s closet in a box of fun
With I don’t even know what
But he’s coming for you
Yeah he’s coming for you
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run, out run my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run, faster than a bullet
Well daddy works a long day
And he’s coming home late, he’s coming home late
He’s bringing Nick a big surprise
‘Cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed on ice
He’s waited such a long time
His slight of hand is a quick-pull trigger
And I don’t even know why
But he’s coming for you
Yeah he’s coming for you
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run, out run my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
Better run, better run, faster than a bullet
All the other kids, pumped up kicks
Run, better run, out run my gun
All the other kids, pumped up kicks
Run, better run, faster than a bullet
All the other kids, run, better run
All the other kids, run, better run

Take to the Streets

A radio blackout
Boycotts your band
A Clear Channel’s open
Can’t take a stand
Criticizing government
Censoring your messages
Barricading nations
Democratizing stations
Now corruption
Influence justice
Facebook frustrations
Turn into violence
Pepper spraying victims
Relying on the system
Questioning consensus
Fearing repercussions
Great recessions, depressions…
Your robot lacking feeling?
Devoid of love and reason?
Well that’s the corporation
Stop!
Turn it loud
Never let ‘em
Turn it down
Petty thieves filling jails
No hope of posting bail
Bankers all believing
They’re too big to fail
Bleeding baby boomers
Consuming mass consumers
Rich getting richer
While the poor just getting poorer
Time to put it on the line
Time to pay up for your crimes
Make billions on the system
No taxes on the kingdom
Job-creating patriots
Buying law and government
Turning all this discontent
Into twitter arguments
Philosophies, theologies…
Are you enjoying your twelve room mansion?
Taking a stroll down Park Place?
Enjoy playing monopoly with the whole human race?
Stop!
Turn it loud
Never let ‘em
Turn it down
Until then…
Preserve the debt
Reserve the fed
Profit on the forgotten
Or even the dead
Find another car to buy
Bomb to fly, law to lie
Preacher’s cry, mountain high
Someone else to wine and dine
Another dotted line to sign
For something you can’t even afford…
‘Cause one day we'll all be judged
Not for our things though
For how much we love
Stop!
Turn it loud
Never let ‘em
Turn it down
You better seek the truth!
Take to the streets!
They say you got nothing to lose!

One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus in His grave
Jesus Christ was a man
Traveled through the land
Hard working man and brave
He said to the rich,
"Give your goods to the poor"
They lay Jesus Christ in His grave
Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
Followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave
When Jesus came to town
All the working folks around
Believed what He did say
The bankers and the preachers
They nailed Him to the cross
They lay Jesus Christ in His grave
Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
Followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave
Well the people held their breath
When they heard about his death
Everyone wondered why
It was the landlord and the soldiers
And the people that they hired
To nail Jesus Christ in the sky
Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
Followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave
This song was made in New York City
Of rich man and preachers and slaves
If Jesus was to preach
Like He preached in Galilee
They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave
