lyrics

Santiago 1973 was a riot and a kick in the teeth
and when the bombs go off and the fires start burnin’ it gets a little hard to breathe.
But I hope someday that all those walls will come crashing down
and that’ll be the day when the military ain’t around.

Right!

Hitch a ride in Cesar Chavez’s plane, King Dog is my co-pilot.
Love and war are only one and the same and I’m not the one to fight it.
Go! Go! Out of the door!
King Dog is a runnin’ for,
the lights are on in King Dog’s Court.
Si! Si! What’ll it be?
King Dog is a runnin’ free,
the revolution starts in King Dog’s Court!

Now it’s a sorry thing to see
La Moneda’s burning in the street.
But the U.S.A. and the C.I.A. are gonna get what’s coming to ‘em any fuckin’ day!
They’ll soon be caught in King Dog’s teeth.

Right!

Hitch a ride in Cesar Chavez’s plane, King Dog is my co-pilot.
Love and war are only one and the same and I’m not the one to fight it.
King Dog is a runnin’ a long,
far out, right on!

Go! Go! Out of the door!
King Dog is a runnin’ for,
the lights are on in King Dog’s Court.
Si! Si! What’ll it be?
King Dog is a runnin’ free,
the revolution starts in King Dog’s Court!

Oh, no, no, no...
Oh, no, no, no, no...
I don’t want to be an American Idiot baby!!!

Go! Go! Out of the door!
King Dog is a runnin’ for,
the lights are on in King Dog’s Court.
Si! Si! What’ll it be?
King Dog is a runnin’ free,
the revolution starts in King Dog’s Court!

[crazed howls of wild dogs]
Hahahahahah, AHahaAHahahHAh
Ohhh SHIT!
