Lyrics for This Is a Singalong (original version)

So after Goodbye Cool World there were a few projects that didn't really end up happening, one being The World Sucks and I Know Nothing, a political EP that was going to be recorded in a REAL STUDIO with Sean Qualls! Of course, I ended up moving to Georgia and all we had from these sessions was an unmixed version of This is a Singalong, that we were going to re-record anyway. This version is still fun I think though, it's nice to hear it without all the keyboards and noodly parts. I remember that I wrote this song and went to Sean's studio that day to record it. That's kinda fun. So yeah, Sean Qualls recorded AND played drums on this so this is the first Bomb the Music Inudstry! recording with live drums. I think I was a bit thrown by that, but I like it a lot more now. "Guantanemo Bay, son. We want none of your bullshit. The boy who's crying 'Haditha', Vietnam's not a reference. Stop to think of the terror Everyone's gonna mess with a whiny bitch of a nation. Turn in your laptop unless you are ready to report the news in a way we see fit And turn in your dictaphone All your photos won't be shown You're just fanning the flames of decent and the U.S. wants no part of it. We must distract or they'll react in a way that will be detrimental to our policy of coverups, BOY. We want none of your bullshit." Well, everyone knows that numbers have no liberal bias You stupid shit of a nation. If it's a campaign advertisement will you please stop telling us it's news? We got better things to do than read other countries' papers because you silence our reporters while you're killing just to keep our rights supposedly. We found no bombs so can we move on from the spying snide America where we are no safer now than we were before, BOY. We want none of your bullshit. Only one thing to call it, feeding time for the pulpit. We want none of your bullshit. If we can't disagree then what do we fight for. If we can't dissent, then why do we have war? "Son, we want none of your bullshit. The boy who's crying 'Haditha', Vietnam's not a reference. Stop to think of the terror Everyone's gonna mess with a whiny bitch of a nation. And boy, we're not gonna let them. Christian values for miles, God will place us above them. Don't focus on the photos. Please focus on gay marriage."
