Watch the Right

Watch your right, watch your left

Watch the right, watch the center

And watch your back!

It's on the radio, it's on the TV news

Conservatives and liberals with ever clashing views

But as the days go by, I can't tell which side is talking

Their left is in the center and labeled "liberal doctrine"

They do nothing for you

They do nothing for me... no

They give us nothing to believe

Watch your right, watch your left

Watch the right, watch the center

And watch your back!

Let the feds pass a law that takes your rights away

Cause, "you gotta sacrifice if you want to stay safe"

Til the day you find the feds in your back pocket

Locking you away for saying, "question", "think", or "stop it"

They do nothing for you

They do nothing for me... no

They give us nothing to believe

Watch your right, watch your left

Watch the right, watch the center

And watch your back!

Joseph McCarthy and Reagan set the motherfuckin' stage

For the right leanings that now grip the USA

They framed and jailed the reds, lost the keys to the cell

Set up the capitalist machine to go in for the kill

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Social divisions encouraged by the few (few!)

Those few in power, suckerin' suckers like you (you!)

As corporate welfare flows from troughs of the state (state!)

Yeah big business takes more than their fair take (take!)

But in the end, it is suckers like you (you!)

Who buy that the poor are givin' you the screw (screw!)

Can't you realize that it's just talk, talk, talk, talkin'

Like tax men at your door, fuckin' knockin' knockin' knockin'

Watch your right, watch your left

Watch the right, watch the center

And watch your back!
