Jello and DOA "Full Metal Jackoff" <--(Song title)

[dolo amber]

Mods, a little leeway here, please? :)

This song was written during the reign of King Shrub I...Replace any and all drug/crack references with "terra", any racial references to *brown people*...we've come a long way, eh? :eyes:

Full Metal Jackoff

Around our nation's capital
There's a freeway 8 lanes wide
White concrete ringed around the city
For those who want inside
Get on, get off
Ignore everything to the sides
In your midst I drive
While homeboys in the back of the van make drugs

Wanna hide something like a crack lab
Just put it in plain sight
Only stop to refuel and unload
More poison to tear more lives apart
The nation's going psycho
Gang wars like never before
Better lock your doors, buy some guns
And pray for martial law

On the Washington D.C. Beltway
Around and around I go
In the black van with no windows
And a chimney puffing smoke
Bloody headlines in the news each day
Drug "crisis" everywhere
So much comes in so easy
It's as though someone wants it there

It would be a little obvious
To fence off all the slums
Hand out machine guns
To the poor in the projects
And watch 'em kill each other off
A more subtle genocide is when
The only hope for the young
Is to join the Army or slowly die
Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
The last roads left to the American Dream

Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
Only on road leads to this neighborhood
Little kids wanna sell drugs when they grow up

The folks might get just a little upset
If they knew where that dope comes from
From Columbia to the Contras
To our Air Force bases, where we trade it for guns
The moral equivalent of a serial killer
And his CIA friends
Call the shots from the White House
But now that we own the media too
Those stories just aren't run

On the Washington D.C. Beltway, 'round and 'round I go
In a black van with no windows, and a chimney puffing smoke
Same gang that ran smack in Viet Nam
Ain't got no reason to fear
Just get a Vice President so dumb
The crook at the top never gets impeached

That sure was easy wasn't it?
That sure was easy wasn't it?
More crack-more panic-More cops-more jails

You see emergency-total war
You see emergency-total war
You see a black face-you see a crackhead
You see a black face-you see a crackhead
You see a black face-you see Willie Horton with a knife
You see Willie Horton with a knife


You see one Willie Horton you've seen them all
They're everywhere, I know
You asked for it, you've got it
Drug suspects have no rights at all
Property seized and sold before trial
Labor camps-on American soil?!?
Neo-Nazi boot boys
That the cops never seem to arrest
Prowl neighborhoods with baseball bats
Why now? Why do they get so much press...?

Mein Kampf-the mini series
Ollie North-"patriotic" hero
The leader for tomorrow is yours today
Finally gotcha psyched for a police state

On the Washington D.C. Beltway
Around and around I go
In a black van with no windows
And a chimney puffing smoke
My van's a mobile oven now
That burns the bodies you never see
Just like in Chile or Guatemala
People just seem to disappear

Just like Rome
We fell asleep when we got spoiled
Ignore human rights in the rest of the world
Ya might just lose your own

As the noose of narco-militarism
Tightens 'round your necks
We worry about burning flags
And pee in jars at work
To keep our jobs

But if someone came for you one night
And dragged you away
Do you really think your neighbors
Would even care?

EMBRACE THE RED WHITE AND BLUE REICH!!
Chanted in the background: OLLIE FOR PRESIDENT!! HE'LL GET THINGS DONE!!

edit: Oh yeah, and did I mention that there is not much in the world more satisfying than listening to Jello Biafra spit venom?? :evilgrin:

[DBoon]

1. There's always room for Jello

n/t

[NightTrain]

2. Jello Biafra: the other J.B.

The first being James Brown, of course. ;)

[Kat45]

3. I always loved Jello's lyrics

What's he doing these days? Is he still doing music?

[dolo amber]

4. I haven't heard of anything

new musically for a while...I'm pretty sure he's still doing his spoken word thing though. Too bad, really...we could use him right about now, eh? ;)

[Fenris]

5. I saw him a few years ago

Not a bad show, but he started late and hearing spoken word at 1 am is not exactly fun.:(

:hi: Amber!

[dolo amber]

6. I wish I could find a link

He did a spoken word thing...YEARS ago in Cincinnati...either got arrested or nearly did for *inciting a riot*. 3+ hours of just BLISTERING anti-Bush stuff...was utterly brilliant. :D

(And he started at a respectable 8-8:30-ish. ;))

Fen! :loveya:

[Fenris]

7. 8:00 is different than 1:00 AM

:loveya: Amber!

[Kat45]

8. Yup, we sure could use him about now.

Could use Frank Zappa about now too, may he rest in peace.

9. And Bill Hicks

Who wasn't primarily a musician, but would've ripped them apart, LOUDLY, from day one.

RIP. :(

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Bill is our God. Imagine a collective of Hicks, Chris Morris & Peter Cook

A triumvirate that could destroy our culture!
