Don't wanna hear about ornamental culture
Don't wanna listen to your Soviet mulchers
Don't wanna read your publish-or-perish churnings
Don't wanna sacrifice for your social yearnings

Don't wanna leave it up to maze-mad bureaurats
Don't wanna be a face-down altruist doormat
Don't wanna pragmatize, play the mouse to the cat
Don't wanna forget students Chinese tanks crushed flat

Don't wanna harmonize PLA agggression
Don't wanna sanction capricious tax oppression
Don't wanna look through state-mandated cataracts
Don't wanna collective bargain for a contract

Don't wanna poison myself with killer vaccines
Don't wanna limit spending against your régime
Don't wanna shut off my brain for fake self-esteem
Don't wanna be sifted through Mel Karmazin's screen

Don't wanna work for the benefit of the tribe
Don't wanna spew anti-pacific diatribes
Don't wanna sign your PC confession papers
Don't wanna hear how being male means I'll rape her
