Are You Ready - Majestic Twelve
Let's say theoretically that you're a patriot who wakes up one morning and realizes his government has been overtaken by liars, incompetents and thieves - are you gonna stand up like Patrick Henry, or just get baked watching Patrick The Starfish? Are you ready? When things are falling apart You gotta keep your body moving if the news is getting dark 'Cause no solution can come from moping around Keep your head above the water and your heart on holy ground My constitution is forged from Carnegie Steel Ellis Island, Rosa Parks, America for real So are you ready to pull your boots on and ride? Suck it up and slug it out, don't sit and let it slide Don't let nobody tell you you can't wave your flag and cheer Say what you think today, don't wait until next year Are you ready? United people have clout My fingers push this pencil, but our fist can take 'em out Our solution depends on how much you care Are you really gonna fight, or just pretend that you were there? Our constitution is more than paper and ink Be there to defend it when it's had too much to drink So are you ready to stand and sober it up? The winds of change are flammable and ready to erupt Don't let nobody tell you you can't fix the stuff that stings The Liberty Bell may be cracked, but it's loud and it still rings Are you ready to stop just running your yap? Stand up like you mean it, put your body in the gap 'Cause no solution can come from being afraid Of all the filthy maggots getting fat and getting paid Our constitution is worth my life to defend Any traitor in the driver's seat must suffer for his sin So are you ready to fix our government's past? Don't be your daddy's Democrat, YOU KICK 'EM IN THE ASS! Yeah, are you ready?
