I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts Acoustic by X Lyrics

The facts we hate
We'll never meet
Walking down the road
Everybody yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
But I'm waiting for you
I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts
When is this world coming to?
Both sides are right
But both sides murder
I give up
Why can't they?

[Chorus]
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts

The civil wars
And the uncivilized wars
Conflagrations leap out of every poor furnace
The food cooks poorly
And everyone goes hungry
From then on, it's dog eat dog
Dog eat body and body eat dog
I can't go down there
I can't understand it
I'm a no-good coward
An American, too
[Chorus]
And I must not think bad thoughts (Not a South American)
And I must not think bad thoughts (Not a Central American)
And I must not think bad thoughts (Not an an alien American)
Oh, I must not think bad thoughts (Not a Native American)
I must not think bad thoughts

I'm guilty of murder
Of innocent men
Innocent women, innocent children
Thousands of 'em
My planes, my guns
My money, my soldiers
My blood on my hands
It's all my fault

[Chorus]
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts

The facts we hate
You'll never hear us
(The radio will play some music now [?])
"I hear the radio, on the radio"
[Chorus]
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts

The facts we hate
We'll never meet
Walking down the road
Everybody yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up!
Hurry up!"
But I'm waiting for you
I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts
When is this world coming to?
Both sides are right
But both sides murder
I give up
Why can't they?

[Chorus]
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
