Lyrics
[A Thanksgiving Prayer by William S. Burroughs, read by Sgt. Major] "Thanks for the wild turkey And the passenger pigeons Destined to be shat out Through wholesome American guts Thanks for a continent to despoil and poison Thanks for Indians To provide a modicum of challenge and danger Thanks for vast herds of bison To kill and skin and leaving the carcasses to rot Thanks for the bounties on wolves and coyotes Thanks for the American Dream To vulgarize and falsify Until the bare lies shine through Thanks for the KKK For the nigga-killing lawmen Feeling their notches For decent, church-going women With their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces Thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers Thanks for the laboratory AIDS Thanks for the prohibition and the war against drugs Thanks for a country where nobody's allowed to mind their own business Thanks to a nation of finks Yes, thanks for all the memories All right -- Let's see your arms You always were a headache and you always were a bore Thanks for the last and the greatest betrayal Of the last and the greatest of human dreams" What do you see? A big pile of nothing... What do you want in a country like that? What do you see in a country like that? What are you doin' in a country like that? I got no answers Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks, nothing Well, what do you feel? Probably next to nothing.. What do you want in a country like that? What do you see in a country like that? What are you doin' in a country like that? I got no answers Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks [Sgt. Major: Thanks for the drugs] Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks [Sgt. Major: Thanks for the drugs] Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks Thanks but no thanks I say thanks but no thanks [Sgt. Major: Thanks for the American Dream] I say thanks but no thanks [Sgt. Major: Thanks for the drugs Thanks for the drugs Drugs The American Dream Drugs Drugs Drugs Drugs]
