A live wire Lives for today Look at what you're doing It matters not what you say I'll tell you what is what I'll tell you what is meant to be All is not well in the land of the free I'm a live wire from a spark I have grown But when I'm gone you'll be on your own Can't you feel my pulse The current runs through me I could be underfoot Don't tread on me Like a live wire Watch it burn Put the knife in oppression When it's back is turned The real live wire The mean defier I stand against all odds The equalizer forged of fiber - That stands up against the gods Here to serve The rebels nerve And give his tongue its lash But when the battles turn And the ships are burned Then you know that's where I'll be
