Billie Joe, it is pleasantly meeting you here at the recording studio. Right after you make your first record.How does it feel? Wonderful! She smashed the radio With the board of education Turn up the static left Of the state, of the nation Turn up the flame, step on the gas Burning the flag at half mast She's a rebel's forgotten son An export of the revolution She is the first voice Of the last ones in the line She'll drag the lake To keep the Vendetta alive Bring in the head of the government The dog ate the document Somebody shot the President And no one knows where Maria went? Maria, Maria, Maria Where did you go? Be careful what you're offering Your breath lacks the conviction Drawing the line in the dirt Because the last decision is "no" She smashed the radio With the board of education Turn up the static left Of the state, of the nation Turn up the flame, step on the gas Burning the flag at half mast She's a rebel's forgotten son An export of the revolution Maria, Maria, Maria Where did you go? Maria, Maria, Maria Where did you go?
