The other day I swear to God I got a letter in the mail that said register with us or you 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 your 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 Capital Hill
They're cutting back on welfare, 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 burning bright the day our 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
