You Turn the Screws

You turn the screws, you tear down the bridge
Flimsy as it is, it's business like
You shake my hand, you break up the band
Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock

Red, white, and blue, woah

Yeah, you twist the knife, then go home to kiss your wife
A bigger, better slice is what you'd like
You kick the sand, you get the upper hand
You sell it to Japan, it's natural punk rock

Red, white, and blue, woah

You turn the screws
It's what you choose to do
You think that I
Must turn them too
You think that I
Must be so satisfied
I stay inside
I wonder why
(Oh no, ah yeah
Hey!
Hey! Hey!

Hey!)

And the cement mixer gets it all ready
One good turn at a time
Then pouring it slowly and steady
You're showing me where I can sign
What I can expect to find
But how can you say you'll be happy
When you turn the screws?

You turn the screws
It's what you choose to do
You turn the screws
It's what you choose to do
You think that I
Must turn them too

You turn the screws (You turn the screws, you tear down the bridge)
It's what you choose to do (Flimsy as it is, it's business like)
You turn the screws (You turn the screws, you tear down the bridge)
It's what you choose to do (Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk, punk rock)
(Red, white, and blue, woah)
You turn the screws
(You turn the screws)
