Firecracker
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, then forced to enlist
Well I laughed out loud, said I won't comply
To be labelled as one of those who qualify to be shipped off
To fight your fucking wars
'Cause war's not about 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 figure head I'm a man of my own free will
Our freedom's are slowly shredded as they take more than their fill
How much power is ever enough for the men
For the men on Capitol Hill
They're cutting back on welfare
They're illegalising homelessness
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
Yeah, I think I'd rather kill
Oh mighty word democracy spell's 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 the torch of Liberty
Light the sky for the whole world to see
In all your glory in all your pride
That said register with us or you're gonna go to jail
You'll be put inside a cage, then forced to enlist
Well I laughed out loud, said I won't comply
To be labelled as one of those who qualify to be shipped off
To fight your fucking wars
'Cause war's not about 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 figure head I'm a man of my own free will
Our freedom's are slowly shredded as they take more than their fill
How much power is ever enough for the men
For the men on Capitol Hill
They're cutting back on welfare
They're illegalising homelessness
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
Yeah, I think I'd rather kill
Oh mighty word democracy spell's 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 the torch of Liberty
Light the sky for the whole world to see
In all your glory in all your pride
