You start a tussle with a wave of your hand
You’re spreading freedom like your spreading jam
I’ve seen your eyes and they strike me hollow
Cadaveric and oh so callow
On your own
You take great swings
And miss the mark now
As routine
Say, did you get just what you came for?
Tell me, man, are you winning the war?
All of your majors
Are marching in your favor
Tonight
You take your love from a radiant God
You bend the love into a rod
You take the rod and you beat them mellow
I drank the truth and it turned me yellow
Light the sky
With great fire
Every night’s
The fourth of July
All of your privates
Have turned into pirates
This year
There’s no doubt
Show the world
What you’re all about
Who brought the gun to the gentleman’s ball?
You raised the stakes, son, and then you called
Now you’re all in again
And you cards are shit, my man
Say, did you get just what you came for?
Tell me, man, are you winning the war?
All of your believers
Are searching for a reason tonight
