Firecracker Lyrics - Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues - Strung Out

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

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
