So don’t delay, build barricade
And raise it one by one I’d like to introduce you
To seduce you all in spite
Smash your face and trash the place
Till nothin’ seems just right
We’ll make the f**ers pay for
What they say about our
Withered way of life
Drink it all, ignore the call
Of father’s gone before
Fight to the d**h ‘till nothing’s left
Monopolize the war
Ain’t nothing gonna stop us
Call the cops we’re gonna
Run this sh** tonight
Don’t you dare pretend to care if
The sun will rise again
The power dons are marching on
They’re signaling the end
Stick your brick into the wall
And raise it one by one
Upon the hill, the quartet’s thrill
Is waiting for your kid to draw a gun
In the streets the bullets meet
The patriot he sees
A tattered flag that spreads a plague
Of freedom and disease
Through the day he fights
Not for his rights but for a
City on a hill
His reputation fills the nation’s
Hearts with vanity
They rant and rave while digging graves
For men who died at sea
They riot then they’re quiet
When they see they set the switch from stun to k**
Don’t you dare pretend to care if
Their sun will rise again
Weapons armed and marching on
They wish to see the end
Shoot your 21 salutes
And raise ‘em one by one
Over the hill, your country’s thrill
Is waiting for your kid to draw a gun
Church bells ring the choirs sing
For martyrs of peace
While down the road a crowd explodes
Accusing the police
Stand there pointing fingers
Conflict lingers and it never dissipates
The patriot keeps fighting it
Temptations deep inside
Golden bars and battle scars are
Never rectified
That city on a hill now writes his will while
Trepidation fills the states
No cross to bear; no longer cares if
The sun will rise again
The power dons keep marching on
They say we’re near the end
For far beyond your precious god
Is waiting for your kid to drop the gun
