When the party starts on Monday Christmas starts in June When no one minds I've just arrived and I'll be leaving soon If I return with eyes half-opened Don't ask me where I was I do my father's drugs When every revolution Is sponsored by the state There's no bravery in being asked and turning down the case If you see me with a rifle Don't ask me what it's for I fight my father's war A when hunger strikes are fashion And freedom is routine All in all the streets in Cleveland are named for Martin Luther King You will see me at the protest But you'll notice that I drag I burn my father's flag So when the party starts on Monday And Christmas starts in June A when no one minds I've just arrived and I'll be leaving soon If I return with eyes half opened Don't ask me where I was I do my father's drugs I do my father's drugs
