You Turn the Screws

You think that I must turn them, too
It's what you choose to do
Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock
It's what you choose to do

You shake my hand
It's what you choose to do
You sell it to Japan, it's natural punk rock
You break up the band
Red, white and blue
And the cement mixer gets it all ready
Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock

You turn the screws
Red, white and blue
A bigger better slice is what you'd like
You're showing me where I can sign
It's what you choose to do
It's what you choose to do
You turn the screws
They're pouring it slowly and steady
You think that I must turn them too
What I can expect to find
You kick the sand, you get the upper hand
You twist the knife then go home to kiss your wife
You turn the screws
When you turn the screws

I stay inside, I wonder why
You turn the screws

You think that I must be so satisfied

One good turn at a time
Red, white and blue
You turn the screws
Flimsy as it is, it's business like
But how can you say you'll be happy
