Firecracker Lyrics

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 labeled as one of those 
who qualify 
to be shipped off 
to fight some fucking war.
'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 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's back on welfare,
IL legalizing 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 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.
