"Watch The Right" lyrics - ANTI-FLAG

Watch your right, watch your left
Watch the right, watch the center
And watch your back!

It's on the radio, it's on the TV news
Conservatives and liberals with ever clashing views
But as the days go by, I can't tell which side is talking
Their left is in the center and labeled "liberal doctrine"

They do nothing for you
They do nothing for me... no
They give us nothing to believe

Watch your right, watch your left
Watch the right, watch the center
And watch your back!

Let the feds pass a law that takes your rights away
Cause, "you gotta sacrifice if you want to stay safe"
Til the day you find the feds in your back pocket
Locking you away for saying, "question", "think", or "stop it"

They do nothing for you
They do nothing for me... no
They give us nothing to believe

Watch your right, watch your left
Watch the right, watch the center
And watch your back!

Joseph McCarthy and Reagan set the motherfuckin' stage
For the right leanings that now grip the USA
They framed and jailed the reds, lost the keys to the cell
Set up the capitalist machine to go in for the kill
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Social divisions encouraged by the few (few!)
Those few in power, suckerin' suckers like you (you!)
As corporate welfare flows from troughs of the state (state!)
Yeah big business takes more than their fair take (take!)
But in the end, it is suckers like you (you!)
Who buy that the poor are givin' you the screw (screw!)
Can't you realize that it's just talk, talk, talk, talkin'
Like tax men at your door, fuckin' knockin' knockin' knockin'

Watch your right, watch your left
Watch the right, watch the center
And watch your back!
