lyrics

Westward as always

We move westward as always
Stockpiling A bombs for another lost cause
I’ve heard they’re bringing the draft
Why won’t somebody put a bullet in his fucking skull?

And it makes you wonder
Makes you wonder why we do what we do
Why we say
They say get a good job boy
Settle down boy
Get a good job boy
Get a wife and kids boy

Looking at a sociological view
It all stems from a need to reproduce
What if one day we were made in test tubes?

Would you care
Or would you join the crowd
And picket on the sidewalk
With the pope?

Settle down boy
Get a good job boy
Get a wife and kids boy
You think too much boy

Walk down the street
Bum a smoke take a hit
And try to comprehend this life

There’s no way to know where we are going
But it’s sure to be a hell of a ride

Sing it with me

Settle down boy
Get a good job boy
Get a wife and kids boy
You think too much boy
