Live Wire

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
