lyrics

Don’t tell me what to do!
I want nothing to do with you!
I won’t hurt nobody
Just leave me be!
Isn’t this the land of the free?

Strange world
That we live in today
Listen up!
Here’s what they will say:

Don’t grow wheat! (1)
You can’t sell those pies! (2)
Your kids wanna make lemonade? (3)
Well they can cry!

Our world is full
Of petty tyrannies
You can’t do
What you please
Listen to
The nanny technocrats
They’re the ones who know where it’s at

Buy insurance! (4)
Subsidize sin! (5)
Give us your children! (6)
When’s it ever gonna end?!

Notes
1. Wickard v. Filburn
2. Only pies baked in commercial kitchens legally allowed at church bake sale. Referenced in After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, by Mark Steyn.
3. Children’s lemonade stands are shut down pretty regularly for being unlicensed. Google it.

Their music combines aggressive instrumentation with biting sarcasm to rail against those who would oppress the citizenry and exploit the least fortunate.
