Light Up Ya Lighter |
| It never makes no sense |
| It never makes no sense |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| Armageddon is a deadly day |
| Armageddon is a deadly way |
| They comin' for you everyday |
| While Senators on holiday |
| The Army recruiters in the parking lot |
| Hustling kids there jugglin' pot |
| Listen young man, listen to my plan |
| Gonna make you money, gonna make you a man |
| Bom, bom, heres what you get |
| An M-16 and a Kevlar vest |
| You might come home with one less leg |
| But this thing will surely keep a bullet out of your chest |
| So come on come on, sign up, come on |
| This ones nothing like Vietnam |
| Except for the bullets, except for the bombs |
| Except for the youth thats gone |
| So we keep it on, 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| Tell me President tell me if you will |
| How many people does a smart bomb kill? |
| How many of 'em do you think we got? |
| The General says, we never miss a shot |
| And we never ever ever keep a body count |
| We killin' so efficiently we can’t keep count |
| In the Afghan hills the rebels still fightin' |
| Opium fields keep providin' |
| The best heroin that money can buy |
| And nobody knows where Osama Bin hidin' |
| The press conferences keep on lyin' |
| Like we dont know |
| So we keep it on, 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| Some say engine engine number nine |
| Machine guns on a New York transit line |
| The war for oil is a war for the beast |
| The war on terror is a war on peace |
| Tellin' you theyre gonna protect you |
| And tellin' you that they support the troops |
| And dont let them fool you with their milk and honey |
| No they only want your money |
| One step forward and two steps back |
| One step forward and two steps back |
| Why do veterans get no respect? |
| PTSD and a broken back |
| Take a look at where your money’s gone seen |
| Take a look at what they spend it on |
| No excuses, no illusions |
| Light up ya lighter bring it home |
| So we keep it on, 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| So we keep it on, 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home |
| Higher and higher |
| Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| Fire, fire, fire |
| Yeah you know so light up ya lighter |
| Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire |
| No, light up ya lighter |
