The other day I swear to God
|
I got a letter in the mail that
|
said register with us
|
or you're gonna go to jail
|
you'll be put inside a cage, and forced to enlist.
|
Well I laughed out loud, said I won't comply
|
to be labeled as one of those who qualify
|
to be shipped off to fight some fucking war.
|
Cause war's not about a policy
|
religion, it's about economy
|
and I'm not dying to set your country free!
|
I'll never bow to your expectations,
|
I never have I never will
|
I'm not a puppet, pawn, or figurehead,
|
I'm a man of my own free will
|
our freedoms are slowly surrendered
|
as they take more than their fill
|
how much power is ever enough
|
for the men, the men on Capitol Hill.
|
They're cutting back on welfare,
|
Illegalizing harmlessness,
|
am I the only one to see there's something wrong with this
|
I don't have the answers, won't pretend to say I will
|
but to put my trust in government,
|
I think I'd rather kill!
|
Oh mighty word democracy
|
spells freedom for you and me
|
the books have all been written and the prophets denied
|
little by little watch this state begin to fall
|
as we awaken from this dream and find ourselves
|
nailed to the wall
|
Oh firecracker patriotic lire,
|
you were burning bright the day the country died,
|
in all your glory in all your Pride.
|
Light the way torch of Liberty,
|
light the sky for the whole world to see,
|
in all your glory in all your pride.
