Pain (Band)
The Bottlerocket War
[Verse 1]
Never enough
Celebrating Independence Day
It was never enough
To celebrate the eve of New Year's Day

[Pre-Chorus]
What about my friends and me, can we have our say?
'Cause all our many enemies need to get blown away

[Verse 2]
Ain't no sting like a bottle rocket burrowing
Deep into the side of your face
Have you ever felt the big welt
That a Roman candle leaves in its place?

[Pre-Chorus]
The woods in the neighborhood are worth getting put in jail
We'll fight 'em in the tunnels and we'll fight 'em in the swamps
And they'll never get past never gonna go!

[Chorus]
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit
We never asked if we should
It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottle rocket war
And life never got so good
[Verse 3]
Build a pile
Everything we bought from Crazy Bill
Crazy Bob, and Crazy Ken
They'd sober up if they knew about The Plan

[Bridge]
We got enough pyrotechnics to fill up a wagon
Like a Chinese party in the year of the dragon
I'm standing next to Pose and this is what he said:
"[?] lift a manhole cover with his head!"
(Here we go!)

[Chorus]
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit
We never asked if we should
It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottle rocket war
And life never got so good
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit
We never asked if we should
It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottle rocket war
And life never got so good

[Bridge 2]
We're just trying to have some fun
We're not hurting anyone
The lights burst like magic spells
And make a sweet sound like bells
[Chorus]
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit
We never asked if we should
It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottle rocket war
And life never got so good
Four Bics get flicked and the punks get lit
We never asked if we should
It's a game, it's a chore, it's a bottle rocket war
And life never got so good

Never got so good
