You Turn The Screws Lyrics - Prolonging The Magic - Cake

You turn the screws 

You tear down the bridge 

Flimsy as it is, it's business like 

You shake my hand 

You break up the band 

Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock 

Red, white and blue 

You twist the knife then go home to kiss your wife 

A bigger better slice is what you'd like 

You kick the sand, you get the upper hand 

You sell it to Japan, it's natural punk rock 

Red, white and blue 

You turn the screws 

It's what you choose to do 

You think that I must turn them too 

You think that I must be so satisfied 

I stay inside, I wonder why 

And the cement mixer gets it all ready 

One good turn at a time 

They're pouring it slowly and steady 

You're showing me where I can sign 

What I can expect to find 

But how can you say you'll be happy 

When you turn the screws 

You turn the screws 

It's what you choose to do 

You turn the screws 

It's what you choose to do 

You think that I must turn them, too 

You turn the screws 

It's what you choose to do 

You turn the screws 

It's what you choose to do 

Flimsy as it is, it's open-mic punk rock 

Red, white and blue 

You turn the screws
