Naked Raygun - Live Wire Lyrics

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
