Strung Out - Firecracker lyrics

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

Figure head 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

Off 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
