verse
I'm part of the plan, a real live wire
I'm part of the plan and part electric corps
There's a light in the eye, it reflects fire
It has the right to apply to what's needed, hearts to soar
Don't mean to imply the light is higher
Nor mean to imply we can be answered for
verse
Another down, another death on you
Others that ignore your hate, doing what they do
Another clown leads the band of fools
Another broken heart, bleeds red, white and blue
verse
I'm part of the plan, a real live wire
I'm part of the plan and part electric sun
I'm lost in the gone and taking fire
I'm waiting for dawn these colors just won't run
In honor's embrace they do aspire
In honor's embrace no harder nor undone
verse
And who'll be the first man to stand in the dark of the night
And who is the last of the last men to make it all right, damn right
A complicated problem and the question is the answer
You can give me liberty or I can give you death
And if this man falls who will carry this flag to the fight
And if this man falls who will carry him out of his night, damn right
It's a simple answer to a brotherhood in blood
You can give us liberty or we can give you death
Damn right, you can give us liberty or we can give you death
