Morning Glory Urban Tribes/ When I Grow Up (from "The Suicide Singles") Lyrics

This is the story of a clash of cultures
And of a people's love for the land

[Tribal drums]

They called us savages.

Many times the dominant society did not understand who we were.
They called us raiders.

[Guitar enters]

They called us theives.
They called us a waring people.
Well we had to do some of these things in order to survive.
And above all, to hold our lands.

They called us savages.

Savages.

[Lightning crash]

Ronald Reagan:
America has no territorial ambitions.
America has no territorial ambitions.
No territorial ambitions.
We occupy no countries, and we have built no walls to lock our people in.
Built no walls to lock our people in.
Our commitment to self-determination, freedom, and peace is the very soul of America.
That commitment is as strong today as it ever was.
As it ever was.
As it ever was.

When I grow up I wanna self destruct
Be a f___in b__
Turn my liver into mush
Blow my head off in the street
And drink 'til death

I'm a failure but I'm livin' free
f___ the army, join the anti
I'm a failure to society
That's exactly what I want to be

Ronald Reagan:
War is a distant prospect,
For it is not people who make war;
Only governments do that.

My friends are my only family
I'm the branch that fell from the family tree
Alive to die, feel the rush
Moderation's for the lost
Bloom in lush

When I grow up I'm goin down
Live in poverty, in alcohol I'll drown
Think alone, give blood
Die soon in suicide, I got no love

I'm a failure but I'm livin' free
f___ tha army, join the anti
I'm a failure to society
That's exactly what I want to be

[Guitar solo]

[Orchestral interlude]

All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
So, tomorrow night in the kitchen, I hope the talking begins.
And children, if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let 'em know and nail 'em on it.
That would be a very American thing to do.
