CAKE - You Turn the Screws lyrics

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 (whoa)

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 (whoa)

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 rock
Red white and blue you turn the screws
