Lyrics

    They want to sell it out
    buy it up
    and dumb it down
    a good god is hard to find
    I'll join the crowd that
    wants to see me dead
    right now I feel I belong
    for the first time
    
    multiply your death
    divide by sex
    add up the violence and
    what do you get?
    We are all just stars and we're waiting
    We are all just scarred and we're hating
    We are all just stars on your burning flag
    
    you can point your gun at me
    and hope it will go away
    but if god was alive,
    he would hate you anyway
    
    my right wing is flapping
    the left one is gray
    let's hear it for the kids but
    nothing they say
    they gyrate and G-rate
    on Election Day
    we got out ABC's and our F U C K
    
    multiply your death
    divide by sex
    add up the violence and
    what do you get?
    We are all just stars and we're waiting
    We are all just scarred and we're hating
    We are all just stars on your burning flag
    
    you can point your gun at me
    and hope it will go away
    but if god was alive,
    he would hate you anyway
