Thanx But No Thanx Lyrics

Thanks for a wild turkey
and the passenger pigeons
destined to shit out
through wholesome American gutsThanks for a continent
to despoil and poison.
Thanks for the Indians,
to provide a modicum of challenge and danger.
Thanks for the vast herds of bison,
to kill and skin, leaving their carcasses to rot.Thanks for the bounties
on wolves and coyotes.
Thanks for the American dream,
to vulgarize, falsify until the bare lies shine through.Thanks for the KKK.
For the nigger killing lawmen,
feeding their notches.
For the decent, church-going women,
with their mean, pissed, bitter, evil faces.
Thanks for "Kill A Queer For Christ" stickers.
Thanks for the lavatory aids.

Thanks for prohibition, and the war against drugs.
Thanks for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business.
Thanks to a nation of finks.
Yes.
Thanks for all the memories.
All right.
Let's see your arms.You always were a headache.
You always were a bore.
Thanks for the last, and the greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of the human dreams.---What do you see?
A big pile of nothing...
What do you want in a country like that? What do you see in a country like that?
What are you doin' in a country like that? I got no answers, well I say
Thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks
Thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks
Thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks,
You can keep it all thanks
What do you feel?
Probably next to nothing..
What do you want in a country like that? What do you see in a country like that?
What are you doin' in a country like that? I got no answers, well I say
Thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks
I say thanks but no thanks- for the American Dream
I say thanks but no thanks- for the drugs
