No ceiling on hard living 
Peace keepers keep on breathing 
Can't deny eye for eye 
It's open season 
Dictate to my reason 
She devils ruling Britain 
Hey girl stick it in your purse 
Call it treason 
 
Band aids on dead doorways 
No heroes in the Bat Cave 
Don't give me Tears For Fears 
Give me tears of rage 
Fires burn with black smoke 
Oil slicks put us on the ropes 
Man it's hard to handle 
When the bank's broke 
 
Don't kow-tow, don't bow down 
Loosen up, get the lead out 
Backs up let them shout 
Backs up sweat it out 
When your back's up, sweat it out 
Backs up, sweat it out 
 
Hope froze in the cold weather 
No ice on a greasy river 
Liberty and John Doe 
Stand and Shiver 
War waits when the lines form 
The baby sitter in a uniform 
Knocking down your door 
For your rice and corn
