lyrics

The back of your leather jacket's painted "Revolution Now!"
I guess it's supposed to be a threat, but I don't know how
Liquored up, falling down
Where's the insurrection?
Your intoxication is the status quo's protection
Your empty slogans mean -- nothing!
Hollow rebellion means -- nothing!
Swing your fists into the air, it means nothing!
Break the bottle before you smash the state!
You put on your costume and you drink your props
You may scare your parents, you're no threat for the cops
Gutter punk is just another Grateful Dead
So much potential, woefully misdirected!
Your empty slogans mean -- nothing!
Hollow rebellion means -- nothing!
Swing your fists into the air, it means nothing!
Break the bottle before you smash the state!
Your cigarettes are sponsored by Jesse Helms
But you choose to look the other way
When you're falling down drunk in your own puke
You can bet your ideas won't see the light of day
Now, don't get me wrong, I'll give the revolution a try
I wanna see the pigs burn as much as the next guy
But I think throwing firebombs'll take
A steady hand backed by a sober plan!
The back of your leather jacket's painted "Revolution Now!"
I guess it's supposed to be a threat, but I don't know how
Liquored up, falling down
Where's the insurrection?
Your intoxication is the status quo's protection
Your empty slogans mean -- nothing!
Hollow rebellion means -- nothing!
Swing your fists into the air, it means nothing!
Break the bottle before you smash the state!
