Light ’Em Up Lyrics by X-Cops

XCAB

2024

[Intro: David Koresh 911 call]
"Hello? Hello?"
"Yeah, [???] may I help you?"
"There are 75 men around our buildings, they're shooting at us at Mount Carmel."
"Mount Carmel?"
"Yes. Tell them there are children and women in here and to call it off!"
"Alright, alright, hello?"
(explosions)
"I hear gunfire."
"Oh sh--"

Light 'em up

("I hear gunfire")
("Call it off!")
("Oh shit")

(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)
Light 'em up
(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)

[Verse 1]
We heard the call across the radio
A bunch of Jеsus freaks hoarding weapons in Waco
Armed to thе teeth, prepared for Armageddon
They'd just like to be left alone but we ain't gonna let 'em

When agents tried to serve 'em, they filled 'em full of lead
Fifteen agents wounded, four of our boys dead
Negotiations failed so we said "Enough's enough"
It's time to shut it down, light these motherfuckers up

[Chorus]
(Light 'em up)
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up now
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light them motherfuckers up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up now
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)

[Verse 2]
He's no messiah, he's just another liar
Leading lambs to slaughter, throwing 'em to the fire
Barricaded, infuriated
He was a public threat, so his ass got raided

They were outnumbered, they were outgunned
With tanks and tear gas, they were undone
Light a match, boys, court is now adjourned
I hope they made their peace, cause they're all about to burn

[Bridge]
Burn
Burn

[Chorus]
(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up now
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light them motherfuckers up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up now
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)

[Verse 3]
The leader of their cult was just in it to get laid
He took a piece of ass from every soul he saved
They thought he was a savior, and they were all his wives
But once he knew the jig was up, he locked them all inside

For more than fifty days, he wasted all our time
We knew right from the start this was slow motion suicide
He wasn't gonna let himself be locked up in a cell
He thought he'd go to Heaven, but we sent him straight to Hell
(To Hell, to Hell, to Hell)
(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)

[Solo]

[Chorus]
(Light 'em, light 'em, light 'em, light 'em up)
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up now
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light them motherfuckers up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up now
Light 'em up, light 'em up, light 'em up
Light them motherfuckers up

Light - Them - Up
Burn them motherfuckers, light 'em up
