Hellnation Lyrics
Hellnation's when they teach us
Profiting from greed
Hellnation's where they give us
Coke, heroin and speed
Hellnation's when they tell us
You gotta go clean up your act
You're the one who dragged me here
And now you drag me back
(chorus)
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in this Hellnation
Hellnation's when the president
Asks for four more fucking years
Hellnation's when he gets it
By conning poor people and peers
Hellnation - got no choice
What's the point in trying to vote?
When this country makes war
We all die in the same boat
In this Hellnation
(chorus)
It's the only world we've got
Let's protect it while we can
That's all there is and there ain't no more
Hellnation - asking please
For a nuclear freeze
So the unborn kids
Get their chance to live and breathe
Hellnation - asking aid
For the minimum wage
So the kids of tomorrow
Don't wind up slaves to their trade
In this Hellnation
(chorus)
Profiting from greed
Hellnation's where they give us
Coke, heroin and speed
You gotta go clean up your act
You're the one who dragged me here
And now you drag me back
Problem is, few care
About the people in despair
If you help no one
You're guilty in this Hellnation
Asks for four more fucking years
Hellnation's when he gets it
By conning poor people and peers
What's the point in trying to vote?
When this country makes war
We all die in the same boat
In this Hellnation
Let's protect it while we can
That's all there is and there ain't no more
For a nuclear freeze
So the unborn kids
Get their chance to live and breathe
For the minimum wage
So the kids of tomorrow
Don't wind up slaves to their trade
In this Hellnation
(chorus)

wow i cant beleive nobody responded to this one this is one of my favorite DK songs bassically what the song is, is pointing out how we run our sad society and how we need to fix it so history dosent repeat it's self again
A full decade later, every single word is still 100% relevant.
Go Jello - I love the style, but the message doesn't read as well when it is so hard to figure out a third of the lyrics.
Great song. it was the first I had heard of the DK.
By the way this song was written by D.H Peligro, NOT Jello... although biafra must have co-wrote it cos it still has that jello edge...
but also, like sublime111 said, this song is saying we have to fix our flaws so we dont repeat history, but also, like like what freehat17 said, its still 100% relevent now, so dosent that mean that history HAS repeated itself, and thatthe last generation has failed to do what this song says??
im also suprised at how nobody responded to this, and im also suprised at how this song has NO videos online, or on the music sites, and just about one guitar tab on the internet, even though its one of their best songs.
Theres footage of it on the Mutiny on the Bay video, you'd think it would be online some where.
