DESCRIPTION:
CD Version - the bad genes - punk rock from Pittsburgh, PA
Salute - Lyrics by Scott Quay

They're selling chunks of heaven at the churches, on the corners, on TV
Beware the scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, their god isn't free
Well you can get yours at the state store, or the corners of the shitty side of town
You consume it, it consumes you and your paycheck and there's heaven all around


CHORUS:
Well most people aren't sick and needy
Most people are thick and greedy
And there's a flag flying in front of MacDonald's which we proudly salute
A flag flying in front of MacDonald's, red, yellow, white, and blue

VERSE 2
While we're choking down our burgers, grab the remote, flip the channel when we see
The Sally Struthers sad eyes, flies buzzing round the faces on TV
And we're tearing up our bodies with our smoke, meat, drink and lack of exercise
So we search for cures on animals, instead of taking control of our lives

VERSE 3
Capitalism is the way they say and I must admit it's true
It's based on greed, the motivation for everything that Americans do
It will tear out your heart and blind your eyes and nullify your brain
And your stomach and your genitals will drag you like a puppy on a chain
