lyrics

Prepare the cannon balls
Disarm the shopping malls
Take cover, it's an earthquake
Your brain's gonna rattle, you soul's about to shake

Give me one damn good reason
why I shouldn't step up and take my turn
I've been protecting my heart from the spark
and trying in vain to make the fire burn, well
I'm pouring gasoline, striking matches
and tossing them all around
And let me tell you, just above the sirens
You're gonna hear another sound

I'm gonna start something tonight
And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder
I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder
I've got a lethal weapon of choice
Got a hungry soul and an angry voice
In a world where nobody makes it out alive
This is my war cry

I'm gonna go down to the tunnels
and dig my way into a fiery core
I've been roaming around the good side of town
just looking for something more
But good advice for someone else never worked for me
Well I'm a walk on the wild side,
the lock that didn't fit your key

I'm gonna start something tonight
And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder
I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder
I've got a lethal weapon of choice
Got a hungry soul and an angry voice
In a world where nobody makes it out alive
This is my war cry

In the morning I'll wash myself clean of your disgrace
In the calm before the storm I'll wipe paint on my face

I'm gonna start something tonight
And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder
I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder
I've got a lethal weapon of choice
Got a hungry soul and an angry voice
In a world where nobody makes it out alive
This is my war cry
