Firestorm Lyrics by Leslie Fish

Firestorm: Songs of the Third World War

0

Chorus:
Hey, hey, burned away
In the night on fire and the sunless day!
Ha, ha, rule of law!
Biggest lie you ever saw

Small wars here and big crimes there
Make such a fine excuse
To put your life in the hands of the Man
Who will never turn you loose
Boss and bureaucrat, cop and preacher
We'll let them have their way
They got power and all the Earth
We've got hell to pay

Trade your freedom and rights away
For their sworn security
Trash the earth and spoil the waters
For a sound economy
Just pay your taxes and do your job
Be grateful you're workin' at all
Don't make waves or the law will get you
'Fore this house of cards can fall

Cops and soldiers, peace and war;
That's where your money goes
Look how long last the summer droughts
And how black the winter snows
Was it a war or "just pollution"
That ate a hole in the sky?
Watch our bosses run for cover
And leave us here to die

Came a night when the sky was red
And a day when the sky was black
And a roar of rage from the tortured millions
As they took their freedom back
Enough of laws, enough of orders
Enough of leaders and war
Just one pledge to a suffering world...
No rulers anymore

Biggest lie you ever saw
