Lyrics
The other day, swear to God, I got a letter in the mail,
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 labled as ones who qualify,
To be shipped off,
To fight you're fucking war.
'Cause war's not about the policy, or religion,
It's about economy,
And I'm not dyin' 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 cuttin 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 light,
You were burnin' 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.
