We don't care what flag you're waving We don't even want to know your name We don't care where you're from or where you're going All we know is that you came You're making all our decisions We have just one request of you That while you're thinking things over Here's something you just better do Free the people now Do it do it do it now Well we were caught with our hands in the air Don't despair paranoia is everywhere We can shake it with love when we're scared So let's shout it aloud like a prayer We understand your paranoia But we don't want to play your game You think you're cool and know what you are doing 666 is your name So while you're jerking off each other You better bear this thought in mind Your time is up you better know it But maybe you don't read the signs Well you were caught with your hands in the kill And you still got to swallow your pill As you slip and you slide down the hill On the blood of the people you killed Stop the killing now Do it do it do it now Bring on the Lucie
