Mojo Nixon – Burn Down the Malls

Lyrics Burn Down the Malls – Mojo Nixon, Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper

Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
Burn down the shoppin’ malls
I said Burn down the malls
said burn down the shoppin’ malls
burna burna burna burna down shoppin’ malls
Hey you ever get the feelin that America is turning into some kinda sit-com
lowest common denominator
shopping mall marketing strategy from hell
You ever get that feeling?
Well I got that feeling right now
and it’s kinda getting under my skin
yeah
so get some gas-o-line and
Burn down the malls SAY IT
Burn down the malls LOUDER
Burn down the malls
You know it just started out as a kind of corner store
Then it turned into a shopping center
Oh I remember the shoppin’ center openings man
they used to have those big lights shinin’ up
but now
Now, where do the old folks go?
Where do the young kids go?
What’s America, what’s America turning into?
Mondo-condo-shopping-mall-hell
I say
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
Nero had the right idea
fiddle while you burn
Now another thing is kinda gettin’ on my nerves…
another thing that’s kinda gettin’ on my nerves is this
national 21 drinking age
Huh? what do ya think about that?
A bunch of malarkey
whatever malarkey is man
it’s a whole bunch of it..
you know if Reagan finally gets the war he’s lookin for
you think he’s gonna be draftin’ 21 year olds?
No man they’re gonna be draftin’ 18 and 19 year olds
but ya can’t buy beer
you can get married and screw yourself up real good
but ya can’t buy beer
ya can charge 8 million dollars on the master charge
but ya can’t buy beer
you can vote for one fool or another
but ya can’t buy beer
’cause this is America
America that’s run by the lowest common denominator
the money
how many units did ya move Mojo?
how many things of apple juice did ya sell?
see’mon suckers see’mon feel it
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
Alright all you weirdo’s out there
all you moralistic twisted evil little ice pickers
you say “we want to censor rock and roll”
we want to decide what you read
what you watch
what you listen to
oh oh oh Mr. Falwell
oh Miss Tipper Gore
wait till i got you on the floor
we gonna tie you up inside of a shopping mall
then we’re gonna then we’re gonna
we’re gonna have a war on drugs
a war on drugs
we outta’ have a war on war you suckers
we outta ‘have a war on this senseless condominium
new car hell
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
Burn down the malls
