lyrics

When the party starts on Monday
And Christmas starts in June
When no one minds I just arrived
And I’ll be leaving soon
If I return with eyes half open
Don’t ask me where I was
I do my father’s drugs

When every revolution
Is sponsored by the state
There’s no bravery in bayonets
In tearing down the gates
If you see me with a rifle
Don’t ask me what it’s for
I fight my father’s wars

When hunger strikes are fashion
And freedom is routine
When all the streets in Cleveland
Are named for Martin Luther King
You may see me at the protest
But you’ll notice that I drag
I burn my father’s flag
