Strung Out - Firecracker Lyrics
The other day I swear to GodI got a letter in the mail thatSaid register with us or you'reGonna go to jailYou'll be put inside a cage, thenForced to enlistWell I laughed out loud, said IWon't complyTo be labeled as one of thoseWho qualify to be shipped off toFight some *****ing war'Cause war's not about policy-religionIt's about economy and I'm not dyingto set your country freeI'll never bow to your expectationsI never have I never willI'm not a puppet, pawn, orFigure head I'm a man of myOwn free willOur freedoms are slowly surrenderedAs they take more than their fillHow much power is ever enough forThe men, the men on Capitol HillThey're cuttin's back on welfareIL legalizing harmlessness, am I theOnly one to see there's somethingWrong with thisI don't have the answers won'tPretend to say I will but to putMy trust in government, I think I'drather killOff mighty word democracySpells freedom for you and meThe books have all been writtenAnd the prophets deniedLittle by little watch this stateBegin to fall as we awaken fromThis dream and find ourselvesNailed to the wallOh firecracker patriotic lire, you wereBurnin' bright the day the countryDied, in all your glory in all yourPrideLight the way torch of LibertyLight the sky for the whole worldTo see, in all your glory in allYour pride
