about

Recorded in 2004, originally released on - "The Native Guerrillas" (2006)

lyrics

I don't like the weight of the world as it flattens me to a pancake.
Chews me down to skin and bone, frosts me up like a cupcake.
It eats me out of happy house and home.
Worker bee, you hear they got a clone?
So who gives a damn about sin?
Or taking all of what they think they need like oxygen?
Like the U.S.A. needs all the nuclear bombs...

But there are big-titted girls in California!
It says so on my jumbo TV screen.
If memory serves correct I'd better warn ya,
since your stickin' your head in a hole,
"Oh shit, baby, the war is on,
the government's taking control over you..."

I don't like the state of the world as it squishes me to the pulpit.
Squeezes as I bitch and moan, snatching all the profit.
It eats me out of happy house and home.
Worker bee, you hear they got a clone?
So who gives a damn about sin?
Or taking all of what they think they need like oxygen?
Like the U.S.A. needs all the nuclear bombs...

But there are big-titted girls in California!
It says so on my jumbo TV screen.
If memory serves correct I'd better warn ya,
since your stickin' your head in a hole,
"Oh shit, baby, the war is on,
the government's taking control over you..."

I don't like the fate of the world while the Bush's are a-governing.
Seeking out their enemies, they should take their aim and shove it!
They eat me out of happy house and home.
Worker bee, you hear they got a clone?
So who gives a damn about sin?
Or taking all of what they think they need like oxygen?
Like the U.S.A. needs all the nuclear bombs...

But there are big-titted girls in California!
It says so on my jumbo TV screen.
If memory serves correct I'd better warn ya,
since your stickin' your head in a hole,
"Oh shit, baby, the war is on,
the government's taking control over you..."
