Burn Down the Malls


Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls

Burn down the shoppin' malls


I said Burn down the malls

said burn down the shoppin' malls

burna burna burna burna down shoppin' maaalls


Hey you ever get the feelin that America is turning into some kinda sit-com?

lowest common denominator

shopping mall marketing strategy from hell?

You ever get that feeling?

Well I got that feeling right now

and it's kinda getting under my skin

yeah

so get some gas-o-line

and

Burn down the malls SAY IT

Burn down the malls LOUDER

Burn down the malls


You know it just started out as a kind of corner store

Then it turned into a shopping center

Oh I remember the shoppin' center openings man

they used to have those big lights shinin' up

but now...

Now, where do the old folks go?

Where do the young kids go?

What's America, what's America turning into?

Mondo-condo-shopping-mall-hell

I say

Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls

Nero had the right idea-

fiddle while you burn...


Now another thing is kinda gettin' on my nerves...

another thing that's kinda gettin' on my nerves is this

national 21 drinking age

Huh? what do ya think about that?

A bunch of malarky

whatever malarky is man

it's a whole bunch of it..


you know if Reagan finally gets the war he's lookin for

you think he's gonna be draftin' 21 year olds?

No man they're gonna be draftin' 18 and 19 year olds

but ya cant buy beer

you can get married and screw yourself up real good

but ya can't buy beer

ya can charge 8 million dollars on the mastercharge

but ya can't buy beer

you can vote for one fool or another

but ya can't buy beer

'cause this is America

America that's run by the lowest common denominator

the money


how many units did ya move Mojo?

how many things of apple juice did ya sell?

c'mon suckers- c'mon feel it


Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls


Alright all you weirdo's out there

all you moralistic twisted evil little icepickers

you say "we wanna censor rock and roll"

we wanna decide what you read

what you watch

what you listen to

ooo ooo ooo Mr. Falwell

oooh Miss Tipper Gore

wait till i got you on the floor

we gonna tie you up inside of a shopping mall

then we're gonna then we're gonna


we're gonna have a war on drugs

a war on drugs

we outta have a war on war you suckers

we outta have a war on this senseless condominium

new car helllll


Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls

Burn down the malls

etc.

My Free Will Just Ain't Willing


The land of the free

Home of the brave

Trying to put me in a too early grave

I ain't gonna fight in your stinking war

So go ahead and tear down my door


You can't make me kill another man

You can't make me drop bombs on this land

You can't make me a part of all your killing

My free will just ain't willing


The people of Iraq, they ain't my enemy

the Mesapotamians ain't done nothing to me

I hate this murdering, I hate this stinking war

I ain't gonna be George Bush's whore


You can't make me kill another man

You can't make me drop bombs on this land

You can't make me a part of all your killing

My free will just ain't willing


Get the troops out of Haiti cause poverty ain't no crime

They'll never help themselves if we conquer and divide

What they need is victuals, TV and ESPN

They don't need invading just a friend


You can't make me kill another man

You can't make me drop bombs on this land

You can't make me a part of all your killing

My free will just ain't willing


From "Whereabouts Unknown" (1995)

You Can't Kill Me


You can't kill me

I will not die

Not now not ever

No never

I'm gonna live a long, long time

My soul raves on forever


Time has come

We will not wait

We storm the gates at dawn

Busting out of here

Into the world

Sing our victory song


You can't kill me

I will not die

Not now not ever

No never

I'm gonna live a long, long time

My soul raves on forever


(Aim-A-Flame Johnson)

I stand alone

Out on the road

I know flesh will rot

But the renegade and crazy free

Will not forgot


You can't kill me

I will not die

Not now not ever

No never

I'm gonna live a long, long time

My soul raves on forever


(Ya know, there's people out there who want to ban books

they want to ban my records

they want to tell me what I can drink

and where I can drink....

And a bunch of pissed off people

pontificating about the evils of rules and regulations

McDonalds, politics, etc.)

You can shoot my body full of holes

but you can't kill the spirit of rock 'n roll


From "Whereabouts Unknown" (1995)
