“Bleed for Me” (1982) is a hard-hitting song which describes the listeners kidnapping and torture by an unnamed government agent in the name of national security. The song also appears in the background of another Dead Kennedy’s song, “Kinky Sex Makes the World Go ‘Round”.
During early live perform...
[Verse 1]
You've been hanging 'round
With an enemy of the state
Come with me to the building
That no one stops to watch
[Chorus]
C'mon, bleed
C'mon, bleed
C'mon, bleed
Bleed for me
[Verse 2]
We'll strap you to a pipe
Electrodes on your balls
C'mon, scream; c'mon, writhe
Facedown in a pool of piss
[Chorus]
C'mon, bleed
C'mon, bleed
C'mon, bleed
Bleed for me
[Bridge]
In the name of world peace
In the name of world profits
America pumps up our secret police
America wants fuel
To get it, it needs puppets
So, what's ten million dead
If it's keeping out the Russians?
We're well-trained by the CIA
With Yankee tax money in Ft. Bragg
The Peace Corps builds us labor camps
When they think they're building schools
Ha!
[Bridge 2]
When cowboy Ronnie comes to town
Forks out his tongue at human rights
Sit down, enjoy our ethnic meal
Dine on some charbroiled nuns, try a medal on
Smile at the mirror as the cameras click
And make big business happy
[Verse 3]
Anytime
Anywhere
Maybe you'll
Just disappear!
[Chorus]
C'mon, bleed
C'mon, bleed
C'mon, bleed
Bleed!
