don't be a fool

hey by the way
i really don't give a shit
does it suck
or is it a universal hit
'cause i've walked the streets of Saigon
with a new M16
but i wasn't told
i was expected to be ugly and mean
yes, a real American son of a bitch
among the proud Asian slant-eye
and if i lived who would care
or simply die
as a part of the world goes on spinning
more insipid nonsense
with a stupid President wearing a long red tie
his rich nose stuck up his poor white ass
and he doesn't know why
the Earth is getting so fucking hot
while his buddies sucking oil and sucking gas
keep pissing tall tales on the native prairie grass
and don't even begin to ask
hey by the way
i really don't give a shit
0 for four
or every at bat equals a hit
whatever game tickles your sensibility:
play the New York stock exchange like a miner's tool
or tread on the hallowed halls of academia
but don't be a fool
or a hopeless hillbilly
hey by the way
tomorrow is another day
seems like we could dig in the garden dirt
and it wouldn't really hurt
