Used to be a radical
Pissed on the Pentagon
Didn't have no values

Didn't know what was goin on

I climbed over the White House fence

Just to see who was the president
I put flowers in the soldiers' guns
Till the tear gas made me run


I drove a truck full of ice cream
Tried to hit Spiro Agnew at 60 miles an hour

Just to see if the sucker had a chance to scream
You know I changed my ways, I cut my hair
I declared land war - pure hell

Pure hell y'all

Used to be a radical

Pissed on the Pentagon - think I'm makin it up?
High all the time
Takin LSD on the White House lawn


You know something changed my mind
It was a billy club to the head

If it wasn't for quick action by some freaky doctors
Root Boy Slim be long since dead


Used to be a radical
Used to be a radical
Used to piss on the Pentagon


Watch out for that tear gas, man...
