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 the 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-16 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, till ya comin' home Higher and higher Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter Fire fire fire So we keep it on, till ya comin' home Higher and higher Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter Fire fire fire Tell me president, tell 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 on providin' The best heroin that money can buy And nobody knows where Osama been hidin' The press conferences keep on lyin' Like we don't know So we keep it on, till ya comin' home Higher and higher Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter Fire fire fire So we keep it on, till 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 Tellin' you that they support the troops Don't let them fool you with their milk and honey No, they only want your money One step forward and two step back One step forward and two step back Why do veterans get no respect? PTSD and a broken back Take a look at where your moneys gone, see Take a look at what they spend it on No excuses, no illusions Light up ya lighter, bring em home So we keep it on, till ya comin' home Higher and higher Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter Fire fire fire So we keep it on, till ya comin' home Higher and higher Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter Fire fire fire
