Michael Franti and Spearhead Light up ya Lighter Lyrics

It never makes no sense
It never makes no sense

Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire
Armageddon is a deadly day, Armageddon is a deadly way
They commin for you everyday, While Senators on a holiday

The Army recruiters in the parking lot, Hustling the kids there jugglin pot
Listen young man, Listen to my plan , Gonna make you money, gonna make you a man
Bom Bom!

Here's what you get, An M-16 and a Kevlar vest
You might come home with one less leg, But this thing will surely keep a bullet out of your chest

So Come on Come on, Sign up, Come on
This one's nothing like Vietnam
Except for the bullets, Except for the bombs,
Except for the youth that's gone

So we keep it on, til ya coming home, Higher and Higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire, so we keep it on
Til ya commin home, higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire

Tell me President tell if you will,
How many people does a smart bomb kill
How many of em do you think we got,
The General says we never miss a shot
And we never ever ever keep a body count,
we killin so efficiently we can't keep count
In the Afghan hills the rebels still fightin,
Opium fields keep on providin
The best heroin that money can buy
and nobody knows where Osama bin hidin
The press conferences keep on lyin like we don't know

So we keep it on, til ya coming home, Higher and Higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire, so we keep it on
Til ya commin home, higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire

Some say engine engine number nine,
Machine guns on a New York transit line
The war for oil is a war for the beast,
the war on terror is a war on peace
Tellin you they're gonna protect you, and,
Tellin you that they support the troops, and
Don't let them fool you with their milk and honey,
No, they only want your money
One step forward and two steps back,
One step forward and two steps back,
Why do veterans get no respect
PTSD and a broken back,
Take a look at where your moneys gone seen
Take a look at what they spend it on
No excuses, No illusions

light up ya lighter

So we keep it on, til ya coming home, Higher and Higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire, so we keep it on
Til ya commin home, higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire

So we keep it on, til ya coming home, Higher and Higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire, so we keep it on
Til ya commin home, higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up ya lighter, fire fire fire

fire fire fire
yeah you know it's the light of ya lighter

fire fire
fire fire fire
light of ya lighter
