Bottlerocket War Lyrics

Bottlerocket War lyrics

Never enough celebrating Independence Day.
It was never enough to celebrate
the eve of New Year’s Day.
What about my friends and me, can we have
our say?
‘Cuz all our many enemies need to be blown
away.
Ain’t no sting like a bottlerocket burrowing
Deep into the
side of your face.
Have you ever felt the big welt
That a Roman candle
leaves in its place?
The woods in the neighborhood are worth getting put in
jail.
We’ll fight ‘em in the tunnels and we’ll fight
‘em in the swamps
And they’ll never get past never gonna
go!

Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit.
We never asked if we
should
It’s a game, it’s a chore, it’s a bottlerocket
war
And life never got so good.

Build a pile, everything we bought
from Crazy Bill.
Crazy Bob, and Crazy Ken, 
They’d sober up if
they knew about The Plan.
We got enough pyrotechnics to fill up a
wagon
Like a Chinese party in the year of the dragon.
I’m standing
next to Poe and this is what he said:
“Chuck can lift a manhole cover
with his head!�
Here we go!

Four Bics get flicked and the punks
get lit.
We never asked if we should
It’s a game, it’s a
chore, it’s a bottlerocket war
And life never got so
good.

We’re just trying to have some fun.
We’re not
hurting anyone.
The lights burst like magic spells
And make a sweet sound
like bells.

Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit.
We never
asked if we should.It’s a game, it’s a chore, it’s a
bottlerocket war
And life never got so good.
