Exene Cervenka - I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts lyrics

The facts we hate We'll never meet Walking down the road Everybody yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up!" But I'm waiting for you I must go slow I must not think bad thoughts When is this world coming to? Both sides are right But both sides murder I give up Why can't they? [Chorus] I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts The civil wars And the uncivilized wars Conflagrations leap out of every poor furnace The food cooks poorly And everyone goes hungry From then on, it's dog eat dog Dog eat body and body eat dog I can't go down there I can't understand it I'm a no-good coward An American, too (A North American, that is) [Chorus] And I must not think bad thoughts (Not a South) And I must not think bad thoughts (or a Central) And I must not think bad thoughts (or a Native American) Oh, I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts I'm guilty of murder Of innocent men Innocent women, innocent children Thousands of 'em My planes, my guns My money, my soldiers My blood on my hands It's all my fault [Chorus] I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts The facts we hate You'll never hear us "I hear the radio is finally gonna play new music! You know, the British invasion" But what about the Minutemen Flesh Eaters, D.O.A Big Boys and the Black Flag? Will the last American band to get played on the radio Please bring the flag? Please bring the flag! Glitter disco synthesizer night school All this noble savage drum drum drum Astronauts go back in time to hang out with the cave people It's about time It's about space It's about some people in the strangest places Woody Guthrie sang about B-E-E-T-S, not B-E-A-T-S [Chorus] I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts The facts we hate We'll never meet Walking down the road Everybody yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up!" But I'm waiting for you I must go slow I must not think bad thoughts When is this world coming to? Both sides are right But both sides murder I give up Why can't they? [Chorus] I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts I must not think bad thoughts
