Dead Kennedys - Where Do Ya Draw the Line? lyrics
[Dead Kennedys - Where Do Ya Draw the Line? lyrics]
Seems like the more I think I know
The more I find I don't
Every answer opens up so many questions
Anarchy sounds good to me, then someone asks
'Who'd fix the sewers?'
'Would the rednecks just play
King of the neighborhood?'
How many liberators really want
To be dictators?
Every theory has it's holes when
Real life steps in
So how do we feed and make room for
All the people crowded on our earth
And transfer all that wealth from the
Rich to those who need it?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Ever notice hard line radicals can
Go on star trips too where no one's pure and
Right except themselves?
I'm cleansed of the system
'cept when my amp needs electric power
Or the party line says, "no
Feminists can't wear fishnets"
You wanna help stop war? Well
We reject your application
You crack too many jokes and you eat meat
What better way to turn people off
Than to twist ideas for change
Into one more church that forgets
We're all human beings?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
In Toronto someone blew up a
Cruise missile warhead plant
Ten slightly hurt
Four million dollars damage
Why not destroy private property when it's
Used against you and me?
Is that violence or self-defense?
You tell me!
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where do ya draw the line? Draw the line!
Oh oh oh oh draw the line!
Oh oh oh oh draw the line!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
The more I find I don't
Every answer opens up so many questions
Anarchy sounds good to me, then someone asks
'Who'd fix the sewers?'
'Would the rednecks just play
King of the neighborhood?'
How many liberators really want
To be dictators?
Every theory has it's holes when
Real life steps in
So how do we feed and make room for
All the people crowded on our earth
And transfer all that wealth from the
Rich to those who need it?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Ever notice hard line radicals can
Go on star trips too where no one's pure and
Right except themselves?
I'm cleansed of the system
'cept when my amp needs electric power
Or the party line says, "no

Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?
Where do ya draw the line?

I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where do ya draw the line?
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where do ya draw the line? Draw the line!
Oh oh oh oh draw the line!
Oh oh oh oh draw the line!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
