Dead Kennedys - Kinky Sex Makes The World Go 'Round Lyrics






Greetings:This is the Secretary of War at the State Department
of the United States
We have a problem.
The companies want something done about this sluggish
world economic situation
Profits have been running a little thin lately
and we need to stimulate some growth
Now we know
there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming
around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble
for the police and damage private property.
It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job
It's about time we did something constructive with these people
We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over
The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together-
And start another war
The President?
He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro
Napalm
People running down the road, skin on fire
The Soviets seem up for it:
The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years.
Hell, Afghanistan's no fun
So whadya say?
We don't even have to win this war.
We just want to cut down on some of this excess population
Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can.
We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on,
hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use
an automatic rifle and send 'em on their way
Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland?
Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America?
We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story
in the Middle East-we need that oil
We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad
didn't even show up. I tell ya
That man is unreliable.
The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one
Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG
The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper
We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right.
Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls
Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply.
So many people have hooked themselves on heroin
and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam.
We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong.
Kept the war functioning just fine
It's easy.
We've got our college kids so interested in beer
they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again.
Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard,
they wouldn't even know what it looked like
So how 'bout it? Look-War is money.
The arms manufacturers tell me unless
we get our bomb factories up to full production
the whole economy is going to collapse
The Soviets are in the same boat.
We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!?
That's excellent. We knew you'd agree
The companies will be very pleased.

  20. T.... E....

    Does anyone know of this recording of come on bleed with just the song and the songs vocals exsisting, where one can download it. Sans the whole spoken word part.

    Yes...it was written about the Obama/Clinton deep state.

  35. O.... 9....

    Donald trump, Theresa May, Angela Merkel, Kim Jung Un. Imagine if this song was written now. Actually it'd probably sound the same.

  41. V.... Z....

    That beeping noise that happens while waiting for the other person to pick up gives me anxiety like nothing else. Even now just listening to it, not even having to make the call myself, is giving me anxiety!

  42. M.... M....

    Why does the Secretary sound like Bill Hicks?

  43. E.... ....

    lol... you are correct Marsel,

  44. S.... ....

    Here we are again.

  45. J.... F....

    You guys talking about Gary Johnson or sanders you fucking idiots it is much bigger than that. You vote is shit

  46. A.... S....

    get rid of excess populations...lol

  47. s.... ....

    We could draft the muslims here and bunt

  48. s.... ....

    Does McCain want to take the USA into another NAM?

    s.... ....

    There may be a few POWs still left over there.

  49. s.... ....

    DO WE STILL NEED THAT OIL? HITMAN FOR THE MAFIA IS THE GREATEST JOB IN TOWN SOME PLACES.

    http://johnharby.blogspot.com/

    s.... ....

    California - little looney or confused or poor old DON Jerry Brown up there, etc.

  50. s.... ....

    WHO IS REALLY WRITING THIS STUFF>

  51. s.... ....

    Is there a 911 in there? Who did 911 anyway?

  52. s.... ....

    SO NOW THE QUESTION I ASK - WE'VE HAD ADOPH HITLER AND NERO TO TEACH US. DO WE NEED THE ORIENTAL IN THIS WORLD AT ALL?

  53. T.... D....

    Fucking Time Less!!!

  54. R.... V....

    The south american dictatorships mentioned in this theme.

  55. K.... B....

    "Give them an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send them on their way.. Columbia, El Salvador..." I always wished that the DK's had released the underlying track seperately, it's great..

    K.... B....

    It's "Bleed for Me" just distorted.

    K.... B....

    Thank you so very much :)

    K.... B....

    @Andrew Miller Thanks!

  56. s.... o....

    and people think im crazy for voting for Gary Johnson

    s.... o....

    Dictatorship and a voting democracy are two different things entirely, do you even understand this? If you don't vote in a democracy, then yes... you wind up with a dictator. The United States as of this moment, is still a democracy, that you can choose to participate in. Now, if you choose not to participate, and enough people refuse to vote, then one person out of all of us can and will take over the entire system, and corrupt it into a democracy. By not voting, and also encouraging others to do the same, you are encouraging a system of dictatorship. Do you understand?

    s.... o....

    If you don't choose to be ruled by your betters, then you deserve to be ruled by those whom are the lesser among you.

    s.... o....

    @SHUTTHEFUCKUPDONALDTRUMP Democracy (as we know it) is the dictature of the majority same shit. The only way you can be free (let's take it as a main goal) is to live your life ignoring rules, authorities and society .Of course if you don't want it to work you won't attack other people and you would let everybody live their life as they want

    sry for my lack of arguments english isn't my main language, makes it kind of hard to speak my mind properly

    s.... o....

    Yeah, actually it is crazy that you voted for Gary Johnson.

  57. l.... ....

    Always use condoms.

  58. W.... ....

    This is how I imagine Clinton's mind works.

    W.... ....

    It's how they all work. Check out our new Cold War with Russia! 39 years of progress...nah. Let's also build a wall so we can make a big deal of tearing it down in a few decades when hoodies with neon geometric shapes are in style again.

    W.... ....

    The Democrats are objectively the moderate wing of the Republicans

    W.... ....

    This exactly how it seems her mind worked.

    W.... ....

    @Coltrane yeah with all of that free heatlth care/college and open boarders. totally moderate, not far left or extremists at all.

  59. E.... S....

    That's supposed to be Margaret Thatcher getting off on the "Genocide"-esque phone sex. here represented as an all-to-willing slut mutt

    E.... S....

    that's what it is? i haven't listened to anything else by this band so you may be right. i thought it was this guy with barbed wire around his mouth, unable to say anything except mumble. and only choked out a 'marvelous' because he can't do anything to stop them.

    E.... S....

    I know this is a little late but, "this guy with barbed wire around his mouth" is Ronald Reagan.

    E.... S....

    ohhhhhhh,,.... i was wondering

  60. R.... P....

    Can confirm.

  61. D.... T....

    HOLLY HALF A WIT
    KICKASS!

  62. F.... F....

    Jello Biafra was a genius. Timeless & totally relevant track.

    F.... F....

    IT SURE IS TIMELESS

  63. G.... C....

    I've been listening to this since around 2008. It gets more and more true every year.

    G.... C....

    👍😎

    G.... C....

    Everything Bob said is true. People fight over the Left and the Right but it's all bullshit. Two wings of the same globalist banker bird. Both sides are controlled by the middle. And the middle has no side.

    G.... C....

    I bought this album in 6th grade, around 2008 too. Cheers m8!

  64. J.... P....

    its about timec

  65. a.... ....

    the more things change..................

  66. H.... ....

    So easy to visualize a music video to this song, with the 'prime minister' shitting himself,

    H.... ....

    More like jerkin it

  67. P.... D....

    colonel gaddafi,       colonel gaddafi,        dafi ,dafi they are taking out the people that can save us

    P.... D....

    last thing i want is beef with a D K fan

    P.... D....

    A real DK fan won't give you beef- all I was saying is that our fucked up situation precedes gaddafi and will outlive probably even the concepts of the west and middle east. The exploitation of workers is universal.

    P.... D....

    boom! well said

    P.... D....

    gadafi isn't as bad as the West would make you believe. if you read about the stuff he did for lybia its actually pretty amazing.

    P.... D....

    +George Cruickshank he is right. look into the green book and he believed that owning land was a human right. The of course he got sodomized with a knife.

  68. S.... C....

    How prophetic of the current situation. This will happen, it's picking up speed.

    S.... C....

    it's an old story. Check out the gaps. It's due. Check the dates out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conflicts_in_Europe

    S.... C....

    Its happing

  69. s.... ....

    The companies will be very pleased.

  70. r.... ....

    well he had intuition imho

  71. O.... L....

    Welcome to 2014

  72. O.... L....

    Welcome to 2014

  73. s.... ....

    Dead Kennedys were a little early, but then George Jr. and Tony Blair came along.

    s.... ....

    It's been going on since ol' George and John Major teamed up against Iraq in '86, the sins of the father continue as usual.

  74. s.... y....

    We can make this war so big!,,  SO BIG!  
    we dont even have to win this war!

  75. A.... R....

    This song has the same idea as the movie The Purge.. There both about getting rid of excess population so the economy prospers... Hella weird haha

  76. 6.... ....

    Every time I hear that ring tone I think of Pink Floyd's The Wall...

    6.... ....

    This is the United States calling are we reaching-........see he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering......

    6.... ....

    God yeah. That part of the Wall is so freaking haunting...
    Day after day, love turns grey, like the skin on a dying man...

    6.... ....

    My favorite on that album.

    6.... ....

    “Mr. Floyd...”

    6.... ....

    DK & PF are the best bands ever

  77. h.... ....

    With the Ukraine the companies are about to pleased...

  84. D.... T....
