A song the band introduced during its 2004 tour inspired by the politics of President George W. Bush-era America.
A studio recording appeared as a track on a bonus disc with the release of Stand Up.
[?] this got a gun on
Like a dog with the television on
Starin' blankly at the screen the way you do
I keep you there and your money, too
If you all line up inside of here
Do what I tell you and everything'll be OK
And if you're lost,
I got a bobblehead Jesus
Get on your knees, that Jesus'll please ya
The money is clean 'cause we scrub it good
With guns and gasoline
, we could save the world
Nothing's obscene
if we only close our eyes
Boys and girls, welcome to this joy ride
Come on
All of you won't have to lie
Get in line and everything'll be fine
We could toss your trouble to the wind
We get 'em all like we did in the end
The money is clean 'cause we scrub it good
With guns and gasoline
, I'm gonna save the world
Nothing's obscene
if we only close our eyes
Boys and girls, welcome to this joy ride
Joy ride
Joy ride
Joy ride
[scat]
To get by
Takin' everything into account the way you should
Light up, light up, got to be so good
Where?
Yeah
Oh, all of us prayin' now
Where?
Yeah
Yeah, all of us playin' now
What you got, give it
God, she always fade away
The money is clean 'cause we scrub it good
With guns and gasoline
, I'm gonna save the world
Nothing's obscene
'cause we only close our eyes
Boys and girls, welcome to this joy ride
Joy ride
It's a joy ride
Joy ride
