Fired Up
Titus Andronicus

Did they always ask you why you had to act so different?

So very different from all the other children

What could you tell them?

When they went off to try to

Criticize you and chastise you

Baptize you and then lobotomize you

Isn't it true, ooh ooh that special school


Turned you into a reverent fool

Tell papa and the reverend too

That they are ignorant and you disapprove


They would like to

Turn a subject into a citizen

They will make you

A patient if you take their medicine

They sell you shit to make you sick

That shit I sell will make you well

Take two of these and break the great Satan's spell


You know it's an emergency

They call it a perverted dream

I call it an emerging scene

I say, say, can't you see

They came with their catechism

Calling it your condition

I call that crass conditioning

Oh, why ain't you listening?


Reveal your hidden heritage

Collect your true inheritance

A veritable treasure chest opening


They would like to

Turn a child into a Christian

I've been living without a God


And these Christians don't know what they're missing


Visionary dreams

Ripping through the seams

When we gathered around the fire

The devious and weak

Make insidious schemes

They want to water down the fire


Which is always burning

Which is always burning

There's witches always burning

Oh! The fire!


You know the type of guy

Who doesn't like the light

Don't want to stand beside the fire

He shackles up your feet

Pushes you to your knees

Forbids you to receive the fire


But it is always burning

We keep it always burning

Keep it always burning

Fire!


Believe me

You gotta believe in a drum dream

Even if seeing the death of a dumb dream

Makes a man mean

Mean, mean, real mean

That what you're gotta be
