Light Up Ya Lighter
Lyricist:Michael Franti, Manas Itene
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, here's what you get An M-6 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 one's nothing like Vietnam Except for the bullets, except for the bombs Except for the youth that's 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 don't know
So we keep it on, 'til ya comin' home Higher and higher Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 they're gonna protect you And tellin' you that they support the troops And don't 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
