Hate Your Homeland

from Take the Slack by menu

lyrics

What can you do when you hate your homeland
Cos the government acts like you wouldn't expect
From full-grown men
It makes you wanna hang your head in your hands

I was talking to you, but did you understand
That if every step we take
It's just illusions we create
We're writing words in the sand
Trying to build the kinds of things
For which there ain't no demand

The passage is narrow
They'll tell you it's safe
I try to believe
I won't take my grievances to the grave

When we follow the suits we're in uncertain times
That's why you don't get no respect
'less your signing the cheque
Or cutting the lines
They're trying to build the kind of country
Only money can buy

I'm a slacker to boot
And I don't pay my fines
So when they say they want a war
I guess we all know what's in store
For the artistically inclined
I'll be sure and tell you more
'fore they take me to the desert to die

But I wouldn't swallow
The shit that they gave
You'd better believe
I won't take my grievances to the grave

Hate your homeland
Kids, hate your homeland
