Happy idiots singing brightly

In the gathering dark

Everything's all right don't get excited

Keep cool keep laid back keep it light

While nazis dance like disco droids

Across the land of the free

Old people live on dog food

Kids get ready for World War III

Organic vegetables tofu for brains

Sprouts keep the demons away

Terminal brain damage hide behind a smile

Kick back and mellow out while millions die

Would they drop the big one on our beautiful land

Even though we're all so groovy here

Would they lock us up in camps and pop us in the

ovens

I can't believe they'd be so uncool

Spray paint mantras across the green hills

Agent Orange paraquat petroleum spills

Cultural warfare a struggle to the death

Planetary nightmare the stage is being set

When madmen and criminals have seized the power

They rape the land that gives us life

I can't hold back the screams I can't control the hate

I'm just another victim of this murderous state

So when people smile and say have a nice day

I tell them get fucked would be a better way

To tell me that they don't give two shits about me

To tell me about the decline of the human species

Mental incest gives birth to deformed thought

Communication masturbation it's what you get

across

Jonestown USA is the symbol of our time

Have a nice day in the Kool-Aid line
