Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We don't care what flag you're waving
We don't even want to know your name
We don't care where you're from or where you're going
All we know is that you came
[Verse 2]
You're making all our decisions
We have just one request of you
That while you're thinking things over
Here's something you just better do
[Chorus]
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
[Verse 3]
Well, we were caught with our hands in the air
Don't despair paranoia is everywhere
We can shake it with love when we're scared
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer
[Chorus]
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
[Verse 4]
We understand your paranoia
But we don't want to play your game
You think you're cool and know what you are doing
666 is your name
So while you're jerking off each other
You better bear this thought in mind
Your time is up you better know it
But maybe you don't read the signs
[Chorus]
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
[Verse 5]
Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill
And you still got to swallow your pill
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed
[Outro]
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it (Do)
Do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Bring on the Lucie
Stop the killing now
