Lyrics
Turn It Into Hate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The jug heads hit the city from every country round the globe
The ships pulled in the drinks were free the ticker tape came out in rolls
I was sitting in a bar watching this on TV
To me it looked like a failure but they called it victory
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead that's great
You're just dreaming anyway if you don't get irate
Come on turn it into hate Turn it into hate
Send your little boys and girls to go and play in a giant sandbox
Put your movie stars on the cover of People for goin' in for a detox
Let your happy-face news readers share a little joke
at the end of the night's transmission
Let's see the world through the eyes
of some clown gonna make all of your decisions
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead that's great
It's all been manufactured like the junk that's on your plate
Some of them lead the marching band suddenly they're war heroes
Some of them fall in a foreign land Suddenly they're just zeroes
Some of us go back to sleep Some of us learn to fear it
There's a siren blowin' in your heart You just don't want to hear it
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead that's all right
Ah just don't start a fight with anyone rich and white
Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it Turn it into hate
