lyrics

Don't drink the Kool-Aid
Just because your lips are dry
Don't send your whole town to sleep
Just because you're tired of being tired
Don't shoot your congressman dead
In the head, like it's 1979
Don't try to borrow against your tomorrows
'Coz what if the debt's still not paid?
Don't drink the Kool-Aid

Don't go to Jonestown
Even if the rents are low
Don't let your good buddies down
'Coz you know that they know that you know
Don't leave your mind behind
Don't resign, it's not yet 1979
Don't leave your disco in San Francisco
Don't drop your tambourine on the ground
Don't go to Jonestown

I will await your news
You will be com ing home on your Carribbean cruise
Paper ribbons in your hair
You will be there
Selling buttons at the Castro Street fair

Don't talk to Jimmy
He's a mad cunt, and everybody knows
I wanna see you shimmy again
Once more before the whole scene blows
Let's be pagans, vote for Reagan
Things could be fine in 1979
Don't be frightened, I'll make you enlightened
Just have a coupla cones
Don't talk to Jim Jones

I will await your news
You will be com ing home on your Carribbean cruise
Paper ribbons in your hair
You will be there
Selling buttons at the Castro Street fair

Don't drink the Kool-Aid
Just because your lips are dry
Don't try to swallow all your tomorrows
You're wasting your yesterdays
Don't drink the Kool-Aid
Don't drink the Kool-Aid
