Wake up
get ya something to eat
strap shoes down, down on your feet
now you're ready
gonna get you some work
cause if you're smart enough
if you work hard enough
you know that you'll go very far
(that's what they say)
it's a beautiful recession
beautiful depression
beautiful recession
beautiful depression
(woo!)
now you're working
but it ain't good enough
gotta bust your ass down into a rut
guess you're lazy
cause you're already tired
but you don't dare slip up
this ain't no union shop
a couple weeks and you'll be fired
(that's what they say)
it's a beautiful recession
beautiful depression
beautiful recession
beautiful depression
(woo!)
[instrumental]
it's a beautiful recession
beautiful depression
beautiful recession
beautiful depression
(woo!)

In Cochabamba, down in Bolivia
Deregulation took its toll
Thanks to the IMF, thanks to the World Bank
One corporation took control of their H20
They wouldn't take it, they rioted in the streets
They took on the banksters through strength and unity
The next election, a new selection
Evo Morales gets so close
They up the power, and three years later
A new presidente takes control (viva Evo)
They wouldn't take it, they rioted in the streets
They took on the banksters through strength and unity (and I say)
Down with the IMF because they
Sell out the ones they're supposed to help, and the
World Bank is not the world authority
And we can take it back like Cochabamba
In Cochabamba, down in Bolivia
Deregulation took its toll
They upped the power, and three years later
A new presidente takes control (viva Evo)
They wouldn't take it, they rioted in the streets
They took on the banksters through strength and unity (and I say)
Down with the IMF because they
Sell out the ones they're supposed to help, and the
World Bank is not the world authority
And we can take it back like Cochabamba
[guitar solo]
Viva Cochabamba, Viva Bolivia...
They wouldn't take it, they rioted in the streets

Sell out the ones they're supposed to help, and the

And we can take it back like Cochabamba
Viva Cochabamba, Viva Bolivia...

Hi
I'm from the suburbs
I've never ridden in a cab
I guess it makes you cooler than me
My neighbors had chickens
My dogs ate them
I guess it makes me a fuckin' hick
Hi
I'm sippin' on a PBR
May not admit it but I have a car
And my parents pay for all my school
My favorite bands have silly names
I love 'em and they got no fame
But when they make it big I call them tools
But I don't think I'm a prick (no no no)
City Hipsters
And I'm probably not a dick (or a bona fide douche bag on a stick)

Hi
I'm from the suburbs
I've never ridden in a cab
I guess it makes you cooler than me
My neighbors had chickens
My dogs ate them
I guess it makes me a fuckin' hick
But at least I'm not a prick (no no no)
City Hipsters
And at least I'm not a dick (or a bona fide douche bag on a stick)

Killing Spree (for Democracy) by Adam Stanley, lyrics written 2006-2008
[some lyrics recorded differently than originally written]
The president is gonna take a nap
The president is gonna take a crap
They've done it once and they'll do it more
But they won't tell you just what it's for and they'll
tell you that it's to keep you free
But it's a killing spree for democracy
The president is gonna give a speach
The president that needs to be impeached
They spend your money on guns and war
To feed the rich and to kill the poor and they'll
Tell you that it's to keep you free
But it's a killing spree for democracy
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
The president is pickin' up the phone
The president is takin' out a loan
They [spend you money on foreign states]
And lobbyists take them out on dates and they'll
Tell you that it's to keep you free
But it's a killing spree for democracy
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
The president is gonna take a nap
The president is gonna take a crap
They've done it once and they'll do it more
But they won't tell you just what it's for and they'll
tell you that it's to keep you free
But it's a killing spree for democracy
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
Tell me how we'll clean the blood
