Lyrics

The other day
I swear to
GodI got a letter in the mail thatsaid register with usor you're gonna go to jailyou'll be put inside a cage,then forced to enlist.
Well I laughed out loud,said
I won't complyto be labeled as one of thosewho qualifyto be shipped offto fight some fucking war.'
Cause war's not about policyreligion, it's about economyand
I'm not dyingto 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 willour freedoms are slowly surrenderedas they take more than their fillhow much power is ever enoughfor the men,the men on
Capitol Hill.
They're cuttin's back on welfare,
IL legalizing harmlessness,am
I the only one to seethere's something wrong with this
I don't have the answers,won't pretend to say
I willbut to put my trust in government,
I think I'd rather kill!
Oh mighty word democracyspells freedom for you and methe books have all been writtenand the prophets deniedlittle by little watch this state begin to fallas we awaken from this dreamand find ourselves nailed to the wall
Oh firecrackerpatriotic lire,you were burnin' brightthe 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.
