Lyrics by The Dead Kennedys, from "In God We Trust, Inc."
Intro (lounge style):
Last call for alcohol
Last call for your freedom of speech
Drink up! Happy hour is now enforced by law
Don't forget our house special, it's called the Tricky Dicky screwdriver
It's got one part Jack Daniels, two parts purple koolaid, and a jigger of
formaldehyde from from a jar with Hitler's brain in it we got in the
back storeroom
Happy trails to you, happy trails to you
I am Emporer Ronald Reagan
born again with fascist cravings
but still you made me President
Human Rights will soon go away
I am now your Shah today
Now I command all of you
Now you're gonna pray in school
And I'll make sure they're Christian, too
California, Uber Alles
California, Uber Alles
Uber Alles, California
Uber Alles, California
Klu Klux Klan will control you
But still you think it's natural
N****r knockin' for the master race
But still you wear a happy face
You closed your eyes, can't happen here
Alexander Haig is near
Viet Nam won't come back you say
Join the army or you will pay
Join the army or you will pay
California, Uber Alles
California, Uber Alles
Uber Alles, California
Uber Alles, California
(spoken, lounge-style)
Yeah, that's it, just relax
Have another drink, a few more pretzels, a little more MSG
Turn on those Dallas cowboys on your TV
Lock your doors
Close your minds
It's time for the two-minute warning
Welcome to 1984
Are you ready for the 3rd World War?
You too will meet the secret police
They'll draft you and they'll jail your niece
You'll go quietly to boot camp
They'll shoot you dead, make you a man
But don't you worry it's for a cause
Feeding global corporations claws
Die on a brand new poison gas
El Salvador and Afghanistan
Making money for President Reagan
Making money for President Reagan
And all the friends of President Reagan
California, Uber Alles
California, Uber Alles
Uber Alles, California
Uber Alles, California
(1981)
