Burn The Flag Lyrics by The Goats

Tricks of the Shade

0

[Verse 1: Swayzack]
I'm gonna burn the paper this rhyme has been written on
Puttin' 'em all on paper, this ain't no shit to be spittin' on
Imma keep gettin' on straight to the point:
Escape to the joint, avoid the oink, right?
Cause I ain't tryin' to get caught on a highway late at night
Tied up, beat down and dragged around
Five coppers tryin' to put me in a hopper—
But I got a keystone copper stopper!
I can still hit a whip across my brother's back;
Now my brothers can whoop my crack
War on drugs? The only war you're ragin'
Is against minorities: the poor and Asian
The Goats are stagin' this political protest
To make you aware of the economical unrest
Now Imma pass the mic to MADD
So he can exercise his right to ignite the flag
[Chorus: all]
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
[Verse 2: M.A. Double-D]
Yo wassup compadré, it's time to do it my way
The flowin' last forward kicked the ball like Pelé
And flamin' up flags like a B.A.C. pyro
Sometimes I take the low road; sometimes I take high road
F to the flag, make the U to my rights-taker!
Whatcha think about that, rap Kojak?
I burn the presidential residence to finish
And leave the evidence for the pigs when I finish, so they can
Find it, rewind it, and blow away the ashes
And find nothing but the masses of people
M-A-double caught in trouble crimin' like the rebel—
Some call him David, some call him Devil:
The Duke—the pooka tryin' a get himself in office
I power, then I tower like [?] then I toss it
Into the fire with the flags and the hoods
Then i step to darryl gates with the tapes and the goods
[Chorus: all]
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
[Verse 3: Oatie]
Beam me up, beam me up Scotty, beam me up!
Awww, I've seen enough to kill someone, I can't leave myself
I'm like hardware, I'm tougher. This government is sealed!
But the leaks from the geeks left this banana peel!
Then rotten, like Johnny, not forgotten like the [Kerouacs?]
Mowed down razed [tho an inch by a pair of tracks?]
Who cares about the facts? We got the food on the table
Say thanks, cause the giver was the reason for the fable
Oh my god! I've heard it from the [?]
Leave it if ya hate it, but check the foreign policy
South America, ungh! We fucked'em like a hooker!
Bought the middle east cause Bush is in the snooker
Arms for oil, it's a military protection
Here comes coporate america, and George's got an erection
Jury selection, get [?] the acquittal
King is beaten senseless. Tell me, what is the riddle?
[Chorus: all]
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
[final Chorus: all]
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
Burn, b-b-burn, b-burn the fuckin' flag!
We don't hate the people, but the government's a drag!
