Dead Kennedys - Hellnation Lyrics

Dead Kennedys Lyrics

"Hellnation"

Hellnation's what they teach us
Profiting from greed
Hellnation's what they give us
Coke, heroin, and speed
Hellnation's when they tell you
You gotta go clean up your act
You're the one who dragged me here
And now you drag me back

To this Hellnation, Hellnation
Hellnation, Hellnation
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in this Hellnation

Hellnation's when the president
Asks for four more fucking years
Hellnation's when he gets it
By conning poor people and peers
Hellnation, got no choice
What's the point in trying to vote?
When this country makes war
We all die in the same boat

To this Hellnation, Hellnation
Hellnation, Hellnation
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in this Hellnation

Oh, problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in this Hellnation
It's the only world we've got
Let's protect it while we can
That's all there is
And there ain't no more

Hellnation, asking please
For a nuclear freeze
So the unborn kids
Get their chance to live and breathe
Hellnation, asking aid
For the minimum wage
So kids of tomorrow
Won't wind up slaves to their trade

In this Hellnation, Hellnation
Hellnation, Hellnation
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in this Hellnation
