this is a plea for insurrection 
this is an urgent call to arms 
this is all for your protection 
this is to keep you safe from harm 
in every field there blooms a land mine 
in every silo, crops of steel 
we sow the seeds like founding fathers 
we till the soil with our heels 

hey, you! try it again! 
kick me when i'm down 
every blow is fuel for the flame 
kick me when i'm down 
hey, you! try it again! 
kick me when i'm down 
pain is hate by a different name 
kick me when i'm down 

the city smolders in the distance 
i can smell the fires burn 
we can't abide this fool's existence 
we can't forget the lessons learned 
(it's) the sharpest blade the cuts the quickest 
to restore [bad word] good 
if you want to cure the sickness 
you've got to spill a little blood
