Electronic Idiot Country

My name is not important, it's a signal, a sign

It means I'm doing what I do because I do it all the time

I get a lot of fun emotion, I get none if I use you

I would crawl across the ocean so I could not abuse ya

My life's deteriorating at a quarter to eight

Because I wrote myself a letter, and I mailed it too late

I got a knock on the door, I got a nail on the floor

I got a nail in my head, but it don't hurt me no more

It's an open act of defiance

And it's aimed directly at you

We could form some kind of alliance

We could do what we wanted to do

And the young would live forever

And the sun would shine through the blue

If we got our hands on this nation

We could do what we wanted to do

With all the time I'm sweatin', I've got you on my mind

You're gonna lead me into trouble, you will leave me behind

Well, I am not coming to ya, I'll only confuse ya

There's a label on you, I'm gonna rip it in two

It's an open act of defiance

And it's aimed directly at you

We could form some kind of alliance

We could do what we wanted to do

And the young would live forever

And the sun would shine through the blue

If we got our hands on this nation

We could do what we wanted to do
