Here's the lyrics:

Hey, mister Jack
is that the mouth washing your eyes (?)
hey, mister Jack
is that the cause of your demise
hey, where you at?
on the side of the freeway in the car
hey, where you at?
on the side of the freeway in the car


(the chorus is basically just repeating fragments
of the last line of the verses)


Hey, mister Jack
is that the trick of your diguise
hey, mister Jack
is that the cause of your demise
hey, where you at?
on the side of the freeway in the car
hey, where you at?
on the side of the freeway in the car


7 a.m. in the morning
can't you take us away?
little men, big guns, pointing at our heads
7 a.m... morning
can't they take us away?
little men, big guns, pointing at our heads
and all at our heads


(i can only decifer bits of the rest of the some because its all screamed)

you're ??? of every god
you ran ??? ???? ???
protectors on your back
??? on the track
you ??? ??? authority
you're nothing like me
you ??? ??? authority
you're nothing like me


put your hands up, get out of the car
put your hands up, get out of the car
put your hands up, get out of the car

fuck you, pig
fuck you, pig
fuck you, pig
fuck you, pig

put your hands up, get out of the car
