He was struck by static in the heart   Shot by an appendage from a television tube   And knowing what it meant to be showered with sound   He became a believer, he became a believer   And now he's slamming down chords   And leading a crowd ten-thousand strong   They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison   And they're burning their draft cards   And desecrating photographs   Burnt through the heart by   Static through the heart, static through the heart...      A man crouches on the street with static in his eyes   And takes it as a sign from the gods above   To shout from the rooftops and write letters to the government   He's writing revelations for the showdown   And now he's slamming down chords   And leading a crowd ten thousand strong   They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison   "Mom and dad, wake from your slumbers,   We're gonna burn this motherfucker down because   Sometimes we burn and steal and rape and kill and sacrifice   Just to remind ourselves that we're still alive"
