[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Liberation for today!
[Verse 1]
Kidnap, everyone in Italy
Kidnap, any bigwig you please
Kidnap, Caroline Kennedy
Kidnap, Donny and rape Marie
Kidnap, John Wayne and Debby Boone
Let's invade Elvis Presley's tomb
Kidnap, Hubert H. Humphrey's corpse
Send his skull in the mail for proof!
[Verse 2]
Kidnap, treasures like the Liberty Bell
Kidnap, owners of the oil wells
Kidnap, Rockefeller wives and kids
People's trial for what their husbands did
Kidnap, Stigpig and John Travolta
Make them watch their flicks revolt-a
Soon they'll go into convulsions
O.D. on plastic revulsion!
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Liberation for today!
Pay, pay, pay, pay!
Plenty money to be made!
[Verse 3]
So kidnap, newsmen and police
Keep them up many days and nights
Drug their minds at the factories
They'll sure be different when they're released
Kidnap bankers, kidnap doctors
Drive away with Amy Carter
Kidnap, Deborah Harry's Blondie dye
Kidnap, Nixon and watch him die
Kidnap!
Kidnap was written by Jello Biafra.
