Phil Ochs - I Kill Therefore I Am lyrics

rate me

Meet the king of cowboys, he rides a pale pony

He fights the bad boys, brings them to their knees

He patrols the highways from the air

He keeps the country safe from long hair

I am the masculine American man

I kill therefore I am

I don't like the black man, for he does not know his place

Take the back of my hand, or I'll mark you with my mace

I'm as brave as any man can be, I find my courage in chemistry

I am the masculine American man

I kill therefore I am

I don't like the students now, they don't have no respect

They don't like to work now, I think I'll ring their necks

They call me pig although I'm underpaid

I'll show those faggots that I'm not afraid

I am the masculine American man

I kill therefore I am

Farewell to the gangsters, we don't need them anymore

We've got the police force, they're the ones that break the law

He's got a gun and he's a hater

He shoots first he shoots later

I am the masculine American man

I kill therefor I am
