You work all fucking week,
go out on Friday night
You're looking for some action
and you settle for a fight
Okay, steady, get ready

We saw him sitting there,
a-drinking my beer
And I went in for the war
it's 7 o'clock on a Saturday night and I'm so fucking bored
Okay, steady, get ready
everybody gets to shoot
We got a 21 gun salution
it's a 21 guitar salute
It's a 21 guitar salute, it's a 21 guitar salute
It's a...
(solo)
Okay, steady, get ready
everybody pull in the loot]
We got the equalizer
it's a 21 guitar salute
It's a 21 guitar salute, it's a 21 guitar salute
It's a...
I hear the sounds of marching feet in the distance
and there's a bloody revolution in the air
And I know what this looks like, but it isn't
'cause I just want to blow something up
