Dead Kennedys Hellnation Lyrics

Hellnation Lyrics

Hellnation's when they teach us
Profiting from greed
Hellnation's what they give us
Coke, heroin & speed 

Hellnation's when they tell you
You gotta go clean up your act
You're the one who dragged me here
And now you drag me back 

To this Hellnation 

[Chorus]
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in the Hellnation 

Hellnation's when the president
Asks for four more f**king years
Hellnation's when he gets it
By conning poor people and peers 

Hellnation-got no choice
What's the point of trying to vote?
When this country makes war
We all die in the same boat 

In this Hellnation 

[Chorus]

It's the only world we've got
Let's protect it while we can
It's all there is and there ain't no more 

Hellnation-asking please
For a nuclear freeze
So the unborn kids
Get their chance to live and breathe 

Hellnation asking aid
For the minimum wage
So the kids of tomorrow
Don't wind up slaves to their trade
In the Hellnation 

[Chorus]
