Lyrics
Dead Yankee Draw
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.
Bill and Ted and Wayne's World drawl
Just another dull fucking bore
Vietnam's cool now and even Superman's believed
Hussein in power as the media war retreats
Suck your honey until you choke
You are a mechanism of social control
Multinational aim of one world culture
Turning one dollar into another and another
Dead Yankee drawl hey we got your beat
Dead Yankee drawl hey we love Oscar
Smothering injustice seen through starving eyes
Tearing down a forest just to earn a buck
Killed off literature for sex and violence
Fed a generation the equivalent of silence
Dragged Jack down to self same bigotry
Passive acceptance of a consumer society
Fake sentiments tying up contracts
Making idols of guitars and haircuts
Multinational aim of one world culture
Turning one dollar into another and another
Dead Yankee drawl hey we got your beat
Dead Yankee drawl hey we love Oscar
Smothering injustice seen through starving eyes
Burning down a forest just to earn a buck
Dead Yankee drawl hey we got your beat
Dead Yankee drawl hey we love Oscar
Smothering injustice seen through Red Indian eyes
Sideways walk of some Hollywood lies
Let's go down to Greenwich Village and desecrate
The Noraid slogans that justify 6 counties hate
Let's go down Redondo Beach and wax body company
Cos reality for TV is Disney not King, Rodney
Let's go to Indiana Youth Centre quickly
Tyson's money ain't as free as Junior Kennedy's
Yankee
Dead Yankee
Dead Yankee
Dead Yankee drawl
