Late night on the blue highways
It's a dark night of the soul
Wonderin' where and when and why and how
How it all got out of control
And the man says...

Don't ask no questions
Just shut up
Follow directions
If you wanna be a patriot
Everybody just standing there
Watching it all go down
Somebody do something
We gotta turn this thing around...
Turn this thing around...

They wanna keep you on the edge
Wanna keep you froze with fear
They wanna keep you in your place
And the line forms at the rear
And the man says...

Don't ask no questions
Just shut up
Follow directions
We'll tell ya when enough is enough
Everybody just standing there
Watching it all go down...go down...
Somebody do something
We gotta turn this thing around...
Turn this thing around...

Don't you think you ought to ask yourself
Just who works for who
'Cause when them old dogs bite you twice
Shame on you
And the man says...

Don't ask no questions
Just shut up
Follow directions
If you wanna be a patriot
Everybody just standing there
Watching it all go down...go down...
Somebody do something
We gotta turn this thing around...
Somebody do something
We gotta turn this thing around...
