You Turn The Screws

You turn the screws

You tear down the bridge

Flimsy as it is, it's business like

You shake my hand

You break up the band

Flimsy as it is, it's open-mike punk rock

Red white and blue (whoa)

You twist the knife then go home to kiss your wife

A bigger better slice is what you'd like

You kick the sand, you get the upper hand

You sell it to Japan

It's natural punk rock

Red white and blue (whoa)

You turn the screws

It's what you choose to do

You think that I

Must turn them too

You think that I must be so satisfied

I stay inside

I wonder why

And the cement mixer gets it all ready

One good turn at a time

They're pouring it slowly and steady

You're showing me where I can sign

What I can expect to find

But how can you say you'll be happy

When you turn the screws

You turn the screws

It's what you choose to do

You turn the screws

It's what you choose to do

You think I must turn them, too

You turn the screws

You tear down the bridge

Flimsy as it is, it's business like

Flimsy as it is, it's open-mike punk rock

Red white and blue

You turn the screws
