What bands play for money
What bands play for cash
Am I a real artist
Or just a heap of trash
Are s...kickers too cool
Is religion just a crutch
DO all Europeans wear suits
Why do I drink too much
Why do I obey my father
If he's only a classless drunk
Are whores working girls
Or just some worthless punk
Can killing be right and wrong
Do I kick skins in the nuts
Is suicide just an escape
Do I beat the weak in nuts
Do I shoot my head off
When I've had enough of life
Do I shoot her head off
When I find she's someone's wife
Will there be a war again
Should I fight or should I run
If I run should I go to the can
Will the chinks blow the megaton
Do I kill for money
Or because of the cause of war
If I'm a politicain




Do I steal like the ones before
