Lyrics

Macainsh I used to know this kid in sixth grade The teachers called him dumb He'd try real hard did his homework everyday But still they'd whip him on the arse One day he went to the playground With a spraycan under his coat Stood upon a trashcan and this is what he wrote. Why dontcha all Why dontcha all Why dontcha all get fucked Why dontcha all Why dontcha all Why dontcha all get fucked A girl sixteen was trying to grow up But her parents kept her down She'd behave herself and come home at twelve Her daddy would just sneer and frown So one afternoon she packed her bags With her boyfriend she drove away A thousand miles later miles late she picked up the phone And this is what she had to say. Hey mum an dad Why dontcha all Why dontcha all Why dontcha all get fucked Why dontcha all Why dontcha all get fucked A private in the army A sensitive chap Who didn't want to be there at all And a sergeant who hated this young guys guts Used to make him scrub the floor They were out on manoeuvres on a lousy day The enemy had to be scouted The private got his hands on an M-16 As he shot up the place he shouted. Why dontcha all Why dontcha all Why dontcha all get fucked You shoulda seen the smile on that soldiers face When he saw how fast the sergeant ducked So if you're in trouble right up to your brain And the boss is gettin' to you Parents and politics, money and marriage And life in general is making you spew There's one thing that you gotta do And I suggest you do it today Stand up in your office, school or your street And this is what you gotta say. Why don't you and you and you and you And your rotten friends too Why don't you and him and not forgettin' us Why don't we all get fucked
