I MUST NOT THINK BAD THOUGHTS
X

VERSE CHORDS:   E    D7
CHORUS CHORDS:  F#m  A   G  (x2)    F#m  A   B

VERSES 1-3:
The facts we hate, we'll never meet walking down the road
Everybody yelling "Hurry up!", "Hurry up!"
But I'm waitin' for you, I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts, what 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  (x3)

VERSES 4-6:
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

VERSE 7:
I'm a no good coward, an American too
(A north American, that is), And I must not think bad thoughts (not a South)

VERSES 8-10:   (or a Central or a Native American)
And I must not think bad thoughts, and I must not think bad thoughts
Oh, I must not think bad thoughts, 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 soul
There's my(?) blood on my hands, it's all my fault

CHORUS:
I must not think bad thoughts  (x3)

VERSES 11-16:
The facts we hate, you'll never hear us
(I hear the radio, it's finally gonna play new music)
(You know the British Invasion), But what about the Minutemen
Flesh Eaters, D.O.A., Big Boys, and the Black Flag
Were the last American band to get played on the radio
Please bring the flag, please bring the flag
Glitter disco synthesizer, night school
All the noble savage drum, drum, drum
Astronauts go back in time to hang out with the cave people
It's about time, it's about space
It's about some people in the strangest places, Woody Guthrie sang
About B-E-E-T-S, not B-E-A-T-S

CHORUS:
I must not think bad thoughts  (x3)

VERSES 1-3:
The facts we hate, we'll never meet walking down the road
Everybody yelling "Hurry up!", "Hurry up!"
But I'm waitin' for you, I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts, what 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  (x3)
