Band: Jello Biafra & doa
Album: last screams of the missing neighbors
Song: full metal jackoff

around our nation's capital
there's a freeway 8 lanes wide 
white concrete ringed around the city 
for those who want inside 
get on get off 
ignore everything to the sides 
in your midst i drive
while homeboys in the back of the van make drugs
wanna hide something like a crack lab 
just put it in plain sight 
only stop to refuel and unload more poison to tear more lives apart gang wars 
like never before better lock your doors, buy some guns and prey for martial law 
on the washington d.c. beltway 
around and around i go 
in the black van with no windows 
and a chimney puffing smoke 
bloody headlines in the news each day drug 'crisis' everywhere 
so much comes in so easy 
it's as though someone wants it there 
it would be a little obvious 
to fence off all the slums 
hand out machine guns to the poor in the projects and watch 'em kill each other off 
a more subtle genocide is when the only hope for the young is to join the army and slowly die 
wall street or crack dealer avenue 
the last roads left to the american dream 
wall street or crack dealer avenue 
wall street or crack dealer avenue 
only on road leads to this neighborhood 
little kids wanna sell drugs when they grow up 
the folks might get just a little upset 
if they knew where that dope comes from froom columbia to the contras 
to our air force bases, where we trade it for guns the moral equivilent of a serial killer and his cia friends
call the shots from the white house but now that we own the media too 
those stories just aren't run on the washington d.c. beltway, 'round and 'round i go
in a black van with no windows, and a chimney puffing smoke 
some gang that ran smack in viet nam ain't got no reason to fear 
just get a vice president so dumb the crook at the top never gets impeached
that sure was easy wasn't it? 
that sure was easy wasn't it? 
more crack - more panic - moe cops - more jails
you see emergency - total war
you see emergency - total war
you see a black face - you see a crackhead
you see a black face - you see a crackhead
you see a black face - you see willie horton with a knife
you see willie horton with a knife
you see one willie horton 
you've seen them all they're everywhere, 
i know you asked for it, 
you've got it drug suspects have no rights at all 
property seized and sold before trial 
labor camps-on american soil?!? 
neo-nazi bootboys 
that the cops never seem to arrest 
prowl neighborhoods with baseball bats 
why now? why do they get so much press...? 
mein kampf-the mini series 
ollie north-'patriotic' hero 
the leader for tomorrow is yours today 
finally gotcha psyched for a police state 
on the washington d.c. beltway around and around i go 
in a black van with no windows and a chimney puffing smoke 
my van's a mobile oven now 
that burns the bodies you never see 
just like in chile or guatemala 
people just seem to disappear 
just like rome we fell asleep when we got spoiled 
ignore human rights in the rest of the world 
ya might just lose your own as the noose of narco-militarism tightens 'round your necks 
we worry about burning flags 
and pee in jars at work to keep our jobs 
but if someone came for you one night and dragged you away 
do you really think youneighbors would even care
do you really think youneighbors would even care
