about

1980s teenage hardcore punk band Blood Turkey

lyrics

THE BUS DRIVER'S DEAD

There's a lot of people out there who really want to help
All they get is extra time to kill themselves

Ernie bus driver drove us all around
He yelled at us if we made one sound
Took us all to school and we took his shit
Wore a dirty jacket and he chewed toothpicks
One too many trips and it broke his brain
He disappeared and he went insane
Took a shotgun put it to his head
Pulled the trigger and it made him dead

Woke up some years later and decide he had to end it all
Shot himself a hole that was no bigger than a basketball
I can guarantee that this guy never really wanted help
They probably would have told anyway to just "go fuck yourself"

I HATE CHURCH

Reverend is fucking jerk
I hate church, I hate church
Getting dressed is so much work
I hate church, I hate church
Waking up on Sunday morn
I hate church, I hate church
Wish Jesus was never born
I hate church, I hate church

Fuck vacation bible school
I hate church, I hate church
My summer was not that cool
I hate church, I hate church
Seats in church they hurt my ass
I hate church, I hate church
Like to douse the place with gas
I hate church, I hate church

I hate church you motherfuckers, fuck you
Set the hymnal books on fire in the front pew
Why not join the army if you want to follow such rules
Try to tell me something but I see it right through

GROSS DINNER

Eating lima beans and beets
Give me something good to eat
Cheeseburgers and French fries please
McDonald's, Burger King, Arby's

Dinner's gross
Gross dinner

THE PRINCIPAL SUCKS

I get nothing when I sit in class
Everyone here can kiss my ass
How many years can I take their shit
They want me to get used it

I refuse, they say I'm stuck
I hate school and the principal sucks
They make sick, it's plain to see
This whole place is my enemy

Walk the halls, set it on fire
Everyone's phony and they're made with wires
Bust through the doors, try to get away
They have to call the cops to get me to stay

BLOOD TURKEY

Blood Turkey
It's the name of the band
Blood Turkey
Cause you don't understand
Blood Turkey
We'll make you human pudding
Blood Turkey
The government is doing
Blood Turkey
We'll make you fall in line
Blood Turkey
And your parents blind
Blood Turkey
And you go insane
Blood Turkey
It's always the same

It's Blood
It's Turkey
It's Blood
It's Turkey
Blood Turkey
Fuck You
