lyrics

You keep saying, "Wait 'til next November"
You keep calling me a spoilsport

There's a thousand things that I remember
A drop of blood upon a motherboard

Their boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days their boots are gonna walk all over you

You're still buying when you oughta be hoarding
You're still trusting while I'm past collapse

They're counting on disease to bring the war home
Get a gun and not a boot behind your back

Their boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days jackboots are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready, people?
Start talking.
