Nicaragua
Screeching Weasel · Boogadaboogadaboogada [1988]
& we hate the way you smell
1..2...3!
I don't give a fuck about nicaragua
I don't give a shit about the President
I don't care about suburban white kids
Trying to show they've got compassion
Politics are boring
There politics are fucking boring
Philosophizing propoganda spewing
Teenage armchair revolutionaries
What's the problem? What's the matter?
You're sitting there getting fatter
You say that you hate capitalism
And won't you compromise
But when you're out of cigarettes
The funny thing is your butt's full of jizz!
You pompous ass your moral outrage
Gives me a fucking headache
Closed your mind got all the answers
Don't even realize you're an asshole
If you had any brains I guess you'd see
You're a narrow minded judgemental left wing nazi
we hate your politics & we hate your clothes
& we hate the way you smell
1..2...3!
I don't give a fuck about Nicaragua
I don't give a fuck about Nicaragua
I don't give a fuck about Nicaragua
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT NICARAGUA!
