Van Halen - Ballot Or The Bullet Lyrics
Give me liberty or give me deathNo truer words have ever been saidWell are you prepared for your very last breath?Dont you dare start what you cannot finishSo when we face, face the adversaryNo longer are we the minorityAnd when history repeats her hourThe pendulum will swing, swing into powerThough not in vain like our forefathersFreedom, never had no room for cowardsFor in the end, there will be equalityBy any means necessaryThe ballot or the bulletThe choice is up to youThe ballot or the bulletTell me what you gonna doThe sword or the penCan be held by the same handWhats it gonna take to liberate?An emancipation, a false proclamation?All these token words that you legislateSound a little bit absurd. hey! and a little too lateWhen a house is divided, it just will not standOnce its decided, a line drawn in the sandAh! the ballot or the bulletThe choice is up to youThe ballot or the bulletTell me what you gonna doThe sword or the penCan be held by the same handThe ballot or the bulletThe choice is up to youThe ballot or the bulletTell me what you gonna doThe ballot or the bulletThe choice is up to youThe ballot or the bulletTell me what you gonna doThe sword or the pen can beThe sword or the pen can beThe sword or the pen can beThe sword or the pen can beThe sword or the pen can beHeld, held by the same hand!
