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 (whoa)      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 (whoa)      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      And the cement mixer gets it all ready   One good turn at a time   They’re 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 I must turn them, too   You turn the screws   You tear down the bridge   Flimsy as it is, it's business like   Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock   Red white and blue   You turn the screws
