Burn down the malls
Burn down the shoppin' malls
said burn down the shoppin' malls
burna burna burna burna down shoppin' maaalls
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 LOUDER
Burn down the malls
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
fiddle while you burn...
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 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 things of apple juice did ya sell?
c'mon suckers- c'mon feel it
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
all you moralistic twisted evil little icepickers

we wanna decide what you read
what you watch

new car helllll
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
etc.
He is outrageous, irreverent, and some would say crazy. But there is no denying that Mojo Nixon's lyrics are an incisive commentary on the absurdities of modern society.
Burn down the malls
I said Burn down the malls
Hey you ever get the feelin that America is turning into
some kinda sit-com?
Burn down the malls SAY IT
You know it just started out as a kind of corner store
Burn down the malls
Nero had the right idea-
Now another thing is kinda gettin' on my nerves...
you know if Reagan finally gets the war he's lookin for
how many units did ya move Mojo?
Burn down the malls
Alright all you weirdo's out there

Burn down the malls
From "Frenzy/Get Out of My Way" (1985)
Back to the Top
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 drop bombs on this land
You can't make me a part of all your killing
My free will just ain't willing
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 drop bombs on this land
You can't make me a part of all your killing
My free will just ain't willing
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 drop bombs on this land
You can't make me a part of all your killing
My free will just ain't willing
I will not die
Not now not ever
No never
I'm gonna live a long, long time
My soul raves on forever
We will not wait
We storm the gates at dawn
Busting out of here
Into the world
Sing our victory song
I will not die
Not now not ever
No never
I'm gonna live a long, long time
My soul raves on forever
I stand alone
Out on the road
I know flesh will rot
But the renegade and crazy free
Will not forgot
I will not die
Not now not ever
No never
I'm gonna live a long, long time
My soul raves on forever
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
Get your own Free Home Page
The land of the free
You can't make me kill another man
The people of Iraq, they ain't my enemy
You can't make me kill another man
Get the troops out of Haiti cause poverty ain't no crime
You can't make me kill another man
From "Whereabouts Unknown" (1995)
You can't kill me
Time has come
You can't kill me
(Aim-A-Flame Johnson)
You can't kill me
(Ya know, there's people out there who want to ban books
From "Whereabouts Unknown" (1995)
