You Turn the Screws

You turn the screws
you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is, its business like
you shake my hand, you break up the band
flimsy as it is, it's open mic, punk rock
red white and blue

you twist the knife
then go home to kiss your wife
you kick the sand
you get the upper hand
you sell it to japan
its natural punk rock
red white and blue

you turn the screws
its what you choose to do
you think that I
must turn them too
you think that I must be so satisfied
I stay inside
I wonder why

and the cement mixer gets it all ready
one good turn at a time
they're lowering it slowly and steady
you're showing me where I can sign
what I can expect to find
but how can you say you'll be happy
when you turn the screws

you turn the screws
it's what you choose to do
you turn the screws
its what you choose to do
you think that I
must turn them too
you turn the screws

You turn the screws
you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is, its business like
You turn the screws
you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is, it's open mic, punk, punk rock
red white and blue, wohoh

you turn the screws
