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
