Jello Biafra

Jello Biafra (born Eric Reed Boucher; June 17, 1958) is the former lead singer and songwriter for San Francisco punk rock band Dead Kennedys, and is currently a musician and spoken word artist. After he left the Dead Kennedys, he took over the influential independent record label Alternative Tentacles, which he had co-founded in 1979 with Dead Kennedys bandmate East Bay Ray. Although now focused primarily on spoken word, he has continued as a musician in numerous collaborations.

Politically, Biafra is a member of the Green Party of the United States and actively supports various political causes. He ran for the party's Presidential nomination in 2000, finishing second to Ralph Nader. He is a staunch believer in a free society, who utilizes shock value and advocates direct action and pranksterism in the name of political causes. Biafra is known to use absurdist media tactics, in the leftist tradition of the Yippies, to highlight issues of civil rights and social justice.

Biafra

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a secessionist state in then southeastern Nigeria that existed from 30 May 1967 to 1970, taking its name from the Bight of Biafra (the Atlantic bay to its south). The inhabitants were mostly the Igbo people who led the secession due to economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions among the various peoples of Nigeria. The creation of the new state that was pushing for recognition was among the causes of the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War.

The state was formally recognised by Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia, USA. Other nations which did not give official recognition but which did provide support and assistance to Biafra included Israel, France, Spain, Portugal, Rhodesia, South Africa and Vatican City. Biafra also received aid from non-state actors, including Joint Church Aid, Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, Caritas International, MarkPress and U.S. Catholic Relief Services.

After two-and-a-half years of war, during which over three million civilians died in fighting and from starvation resulting from blockades, Biafran forces under the slogan 'no-victor, no-vanquish' surrendered to the Nigerian Federal Military Government (FMG), and Biafra was reintegrated into Nigeria.

    Clean As A Thistle

    by: Jello Biafra

    When the elite few
    Paid to elect me
    Promised y'all I'd clean up
    All the filth around here
    Spread some dirty lies
    'Bout my opponent's past
    All the while I danced behind
    That Family Values ® mask
    Works every time
    My opponent's penis
    Is the great threat of our time
    And I love it
    Yeh eh eh Yeh eh eh
    I love it
    Yeh eh eh Yeh eh eh
    To the sheep I preach
    The gospel of the Lord
    When I'm with you, baby
    It's the gospel of Irving Klaw
    When the full moon rise
    Let me feel you baby
    Don't you want to keep your job?
    Got a can of coke
    And a black corvette
    Clarence peeping Thomas
    Wants you riding his broom stick
    And don't you know I love it
    Yeh eh eh Yeh eh eh
    I love it
    Yeh eh eh Yeh eh eh
    I'm clean as a thistle
    I'm clean as a thistle
    Sharp little thistle
    Spiny little thistle
    Best you make your plans
    Around mine
    Before I do away
    With this sin and scum, aw right
    Gotta see it for myself
    With my bare naked eye
    Driver, take me to the sleaze
    Don't you know who I am?
    Let me in!
    Okay, okay, ok, ok
    Here's a $50
    Now will you forget I'm here
    President McMuffin
    Cigar caked with goo
    Opinion polls state clearly
    Man, I'd fuck her too
    Bible-thumping gents
    Stage an impeachment
    While they get it on
    At night on top of their desks
    Peek-a-boo and wretch
    Republican buttocks
    Flapping skyward in the wind
    Lie to start a war
    Killing millions
    Ain't impeachable
    Like wayward weenie moistening
    That's why I love it
    Yeh eh eh Yeh eh eh
    I love it
    Yeh eh eh Yeh eh eh
    Clean as a thistle
    Clean as a thistle
    Sharp little thistle
    Spiny little thistle
