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
Flimsy as it is
It's open-mic punk punk rock
Red white and blue
You turn the screws
