Hey friend it won't be too long now

'til the fire comes to town

and leads us underground

hey girl the city will eat you alive

and leave the faintest burn mark

on the dirty city sidewalk



And will I be ready 

when I hunt them down like dogs

and will I just listen

when they're quoting me their laws

And will I be ready 

when I hunt them down like dogs

and will I just listen

when they're quoting me their laws



Hey y'all it's not like nobody warned us

we roast upon the fire

of aggressive imperial desire

hey friend I see you down the road

the road that's strewn with ashes

and burnt child's eyelashes



And will I be ready 

when I hunt them down like dogs

and will I just listen

when they're quoting me their laws

And will I be ready 

when I hunt them down like dogs

and will I just listen

when they're quoting me their laws



And will I be ready 

when I hunt them down like dogs

and will I just listen

when they're quoting me their laws

And will I be ready 

when I hunt them down like dogs

and will I just listen

when they're quoting me their laws



And will i be ready

when I have to do the deed

with a long splendid sword

and balanced honesty

and will I be ready

and will I just listen

or will I be ready

or will I just listen

or will I be ready

hell yeah I'll be ready

yeah I'll be ready

no I will not listen



get ready
