Braggin' Rights

I often get the urge to sing a story About misfortune, poverty, decline But once in a while I stop and think Smile like Hell and have a drink And realise it's not bad to walk that line Now when too many few begin to take advantage And the rest of us are left to wait in line Well I look around at you and me We'll work it out, sing melody And stand together with reason and rhyme Rights! They're gonna tear 'em up Your rights! They're gonna burn 'em down Our rights! We're gonna smoke 'em out And then bring them screaming to their knees Your rights! They're gonna tear 'em up Your rights! They're gonna burn 'em down Our rights! We're gonna smoke 'em out And then bring them screaming to their knees Your rights! Now the first time I saw one man strum a six-string On his own and speaking his own mind I thought 'blow me down, he's covering ground Takes them on with a mighty sound Perhaps then this is something I can find' Now I never thought I'd speak with some conviction Considering my steep and short decline But if I hear "It's me, me, me" At least it would be plain to see That this would be a total waste of time Rights! They're gonna tear 'em up Your rights! They're gonna burn 'em down Our rights! We're gonna smoke 'em out And then bring them screaming to their knees Your rights! They're gonna tear 'em up Your rights! They're gonna burn 'em down Our rights! We're gonna smoke 'em out And then bring them screaming to their knees Your rights! Now I never thought I'd stand here staring at you No I never thought I'd glare into your eyes But now you see that devil in me Sure, this all ends in catastrophe But at least it's been an entertaining ride Rights! They're gonna tear 'em up Your rights! They're gonna burn 'em down Our rights! We're gonna smoke 'em out And then bring them screaming to their knees Your rights! They're gonna tear 'em up Your rights! They're gonna burn 'em down Our rights! We're gonna smoke 'em out And then bring them screaming to their knees We'll bring them screaming to their knees We'll bring them screaming to their knees Your rights!
