Lyrics:
Don't tread on me I said, don't tread on me Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail Never begins it, never, but once engaged Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage I said don't tread on me So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it Settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Hey Don't tread on me Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike Shining with brightness, always on surveillance The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance Ooh no, no, no don't tread on me So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it Settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Don't tread on me So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it Settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Don't tread on me
Don't tread on me I said, don't tread on me Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail Never begins it, never, but once engaged Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage I said don't tread on me So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it Settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Hey Don't tread on me Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike Shining with brightness, always on surveillance The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance Ooh no, no, no don't tread on me So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it Settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Don't tread on me So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail So be it Threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war So be it Settle the score Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore Don't tread on me
I can see the tears upon your face, no hiding place And you're afraid that soon I will be gone, but time will still go on You're searching for the answers you can find, all in good time What's the worst thing that can happen, If they say my time is through Can they take away the love, Or they years I've shared with you What's the worst thing that can happen, That's the worst that they can do Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you I hear angels through the window pane, calling my name Someday when they carve my name in stone, I won't be, I won't be alone If by chance a miracle appears, I'll dry up your tears What's the worst thing that can happen, If they say my time is through Can they take away the love, Or the years I've shared with you What's the worst thing that can happen, What's the worst that they can do Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you What's the worst thing that can happen, What's the worst that they can do Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do Threaten me with Heaven, ooh, I'll be waiting on you Threaten me with Heaven Threaten me with Heaven Threaten me with Heaven

As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night Midnight, all night

Don't go near the water Don't you think it's sad What's happened to the water Our water's going bad Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams Have all been touched by man The poison floatin' out to sea Now threatens life on land Don't go near the water Ain't it sad What's happened to the water It's going bad Don't go near the water Don't go near the water Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath So let's avoid an ecological aftermath Beginning with me Beginning with you Don't go near the water To do it any wrong To be cool with the water Is the message of this song Let's all help the water Right away Do what we can and oughta Let's start today
Bar to bar at the speed of sound Fancy feet dancing through this town Lost my mind in a wedding gown Don't think I'll ever get it now (Don't think I'll ever get it now) Champagne, cocaine, gasoline And most things in between I roam the city in a shopping cart A pack of camels and a smoke alarm This night is heating up Raise hell and turn it up Saying "If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe" Oh yeah, don't threaten me with a good time I'm a scholar and a gentleman And I usually don't fall when I try to stand I lost a bet to a guy in a Chiffon skirt But I make these high heels work I've told you time and time again I'm not as think as you drunk I am And we all fell down when the sun came up I think we've had enough Alright, alright, it's a hell of a feeling though It's a hell of a feeling though Alright, alright, it's a hell of a feeling though It's a hell of a feeling though Champagne, cocaine, gasoline And most things in between I roam the city in a shopping cart A pack of camels and a smoke alarm This night is heating up Raise hell and turn it up Saying "If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe" Oh yeah, don't threaten me with a good time
If none of us believe in war Then can you tell me what the weapon's for Listen to me everyone If the button is pushed There'll be nowhere to run Giants sleeping giants winning wars Within their dreams Till they wake when it's too late And in god's name blaspheme Killer of giants threatens us all Mountains of madness standing so tall Marches of protest not stopping the war Or the killer of giants The killer of giants Mother nature people state Your case without its worth Your seas run dry Your sleepless eyes are turning red alert Killer of giants threatens us all Mountains of madness standing so tall Rising so proudly it has nowhere to fall This killer of giants This killer of giants Killer of giants threatens us all Mountains of madness standing so tall Marches of protest not stopping the war Oh the killer of giants Oh the killer of giants Killer of giants Killer of giants
He's got his work and she comes easy They each come around when the other is gone Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between I wouldn't confide in the Prodigal Son The die has been cast, the battle is won The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun I couldn't admit to a minute of fun They come and they come and they come and they come I accepted with a gentle tongue No words spoken, no need to speak Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell Tether that ring and phrase Enough with the rifle and talk already We all know what it means Take this conversation to your great divide I can only swallow what I ate And I don't hate him And I don't hate her They come and they come and they come and they come I accepted with a gentle tongue No heart broken, no need to speak (Don't talk to me) Don't talk to me about being alone (Don't talk to me) Don't talk to me about being alone (Don't talk to me) Don't talk to me about being alone Reach for each other before you leave Reach peace with a E-A-see Don't threaten me with a gentle tease Don't threaten me with angry Please, please, please Don't try to tell me what I am (Talk to me) Don't talk to me (Talk to me) Don't talk to me

The night is black, without a moon The air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on The lonely torchlit hill Features distorted in the flickering light Faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right Confident their ways are best Oh Oh The righteous rise With burning eyes Of hatred and ill-will Madmen fed on fear and lies To beat and burn and kill They say there are strangers who threaten us Our immigrants and infidels They say there is strangeness to danger us In our theaters and bookstore shelves That those who know what's best for us Must rise and save us from ourselves Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear walk hand in hand

Ordinary people don't get time to think Not that it's their fault 'cause you have to hustle and bustle about your work Just to make sure the food gets bought Goverments threaten you with recession Then they threaten you with war How the other side wants to take away All the things you ain't got no more Keep us divided with their greed and hate Keep you struggling to put the food on your plate.
