Featuring Doug Linse on Lead Guitar

lyrics

I hate capitalism, often but not categorically
I hate myself, much less than I used to
And I left my home when I was too young to know better
That you can’t go back, no you can’t go back.

God is a concept, that sobers people up
Ask Elijah Mohammed, you can ask my friend Tom
If you wanna get loose, go ahead, get loose
But you don’t need booze, no you don’t need booze.

I don’t want your money, no music shouldn’t be about money,
I might already have more money than you, I don’t need your money
And if I went on strike, said no more songs ‘til I get more money
Then I’d hate to hell every scab that got my money.

I miss my friends, even though some live quite close to me,
I miss the way it used to seem to come so effortlessly,
Well maybe love is just an aspect of naivete
Well you can’t go back, no you can’t go back

I hate capitalism, often but not categorically
I hate myself much less than I used to,
And I left my home when I was too young to know better
That you can’t go back, no you can’t go back.
