A live wire, lives for today
N.C
Look at what you're doing, it matters not what you say

I'll tell you what is what, I'll tell you what is meant to be

All is not well in the land of the free

I could be underfoot, don't tread on me

Chorus

C
A real live wire, the mean defier
  E
I stand against all odds
    C
The equalizer forged of fiber
     E
That stands up against the gods
C
Here to serve the rebels nerve
    E
And give his tongue its lash
             C
But when the battles turn and the ships are burned
         E
Then you know that's where I'll be

Verse 4

F#11
Like a live wire, watch it burn
F#11
Put the knife in oppression, when it's back is turned
E

Verse 5

F#11
Can't you feel my pulse, the current runs through me

I could be underfoot, don't tread on me

That stands up against the gods
C
Here to serve the rebels nerve
    E
And give his tongue its lash
             C
But when the battles turn and the ships are burned
         E
Then you know that's where I'll be
