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 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 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 'til ya comin' home 

Higher and higher

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home

Higher and higher 

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



Tell me, President, tell me 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 providin



The best heroin that money can buy and

Nobody knows where Osama been hidin

The press confrences keep on lyin

Like we don't know



So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home

Higher and higher 

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



So we keep it on 'til 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 and 

Tellin you that they support the troops



And don't let them fool you with their milk and honey

No, they only want your money



One step forward and two steps back

One step forward and two steps back

Why do veterans get no respect

PTSD and a broken back



Take a look at where your money's gone seen

Take a look at what they spend it on

No excuses, no illusions

Light up ya lighter, bring it home



So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home

Higher and higher 

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home

Higher and higher 

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home

Higher and higher 

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



So we keep it on 'til ya comin' home

Higher and higher 

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire, fire, fire



Fire, fire, fire, yeah, you know, so light up ya lighter

Fire, fire, fire, fire, no, light up ya lighter
