Leslie Fish - Firestorm lyrics

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.
