Song lyrics

Send "B.Y.O.B." ringtones to your cell

Why do they always send the poor?
Barbarisms by Barbara
With pointed heels
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spanking deals
Marching forward hypocritic and hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
(lalalalalalalalalala, ooooh)
Everybody is going to the party
To Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing our intentions
Hangars sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom (freedom!)
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
(lalalalalalalalalala, ooooh)

Everybody is going to the party
to Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
to Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Blast off, it's party time
And we don’t live in a fascist nation
Blast off, it's party time
And where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing our intentions
Hangars sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom (freedom!)
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
(lalalalalalalalalala, ooooh)

Everybody is going to the party
to Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
to Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sun

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I guess I'm a little confused on the lyrics... it seems a little ... cheesey or something- like stupid. (calm down... yes, i like soad...)the presidents can't really fight the war... that's silliness.(i wanted to say that with a lisp, but the itallics dont work. why doesn't (didn't... they're a little old) soad go and fight? am i ovrthinking it? then why is the song so serious?

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is an awesome song, but I like Toxicity, Chop Suey, and Lost in Hollywood better. By the way for those of you who keep wondering, BYOB stands for Bring your own Beer and anything else that has bring your own ((insert word starting with B here)) pretty much ^^.
