you turn the screws
you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is, it´s 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
a bigger better slice is what you´d like
you kick the sand, you get the upper hand
you sell it to japan
it´s natural punk rock
red white and blue

you turn the screws
it´s 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 pouring 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
it´s what you choose to do
you think i must turn them, too
you turn the screws
you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is, it´s business like
you turn the screws
you tear down the bridge
flimsy as it is, it´s open-mic punk rock
red white and blue
you turn the screws
you turn the screws
it´s what you choose to do
you turn the screws
it´s what you choose to do
