Dynamite
Igniting Justice: Molly Starlite's Explosive Rebellion
Lyrics
I haven't burnt that bridge yet but I've gathered all the kindling
I haven't burned bridges yet, but I've prepared to take action
Got the torches and the pitchforks and that's just the beginning
Prepared with anger and determination, just at the starting point
Standing by with a lighter and a jar of gasoline
Ready to escalate the situation by adding fuel to the fire
Oh, man, I called it; I got sixth sense
Confident in predicting events, sensing trouble
Last night just pushed it over the edge
An event last night was the final straw, pushing towards action
I swear on my own bones this is justice not revenge
Insisting that the forthcoming action is about justice, not vengeance
They said don't light the dynamite
Advised against taking explosive action
Then kicked me when I was down
Received further mistreatment when already in a difficult situation
Damn girl got back up
Despite challenges, refusing to remain passive
Won't take this lying down
Not willing to accept mistreatment without a fight
Sold me down the river
Betrayed severely
Now there's a rising tide
The situation worsened significantly
Oh, damn, didn't see that coming
Surprised by an unexpected turn of events
I brought my own dynamite
Prepared for retaliation or a significant response
They said they had my six and then they stabbed me in the back
Assured of support, then betrayed
I'm sure that they were thinking I was gonna fade to black
Expected to fail or disappear from the situation
And I know they figured that my hands were tied
Assumed to be helpless, but secretly took action
They still ain't seen that I lit the fuse
They haven't realized that the retaliation has begun
'Cause they just throw away the people they use
Exploited and discarded people
Wish I could see the look on their faces when they get the news
Anticipating the reaction of those who betrayed
They said don't light the dynamite
Advised against taking explosive action (repeated advice)
Then kicked me when I was down
Further mistreated when vulnerable
Damn girl got back up
Despite adversity, rising again
Won't take this lying down
Refusing to stay passive despite challenges
Sold me down the river
Betrayed severely (repeated)
Now there's a rising tide
The situation worsened significantly (repeated)
Oh, damn, didn't see that coming
Surprised by an unexpected turn of events (repeated)
I brought my own dynamite
Prepared for retaliation or a significant response (repeated)
Bang bang
Sound of an explosion, metaphorical or literal
Oh, did it blow up in your face
An action resulted in a major backlash or consequence
Bang bang
Outcome is clear and conclusive
It's an open and shut case
Case closed, no need for further explanation
Bang bang
Confident in innocence, no need for justification
I don't need no alibi
Confident in innocence, no need for an excuse (repeated)
Bang bang
No chance of being convicted by any jury
No jury in the world would convict me of a crime
Asserting innocence and lack of guilt
They said don't light the dynamite
Advised against taking explosive action (repeated)
Then kicked me when I was down
Further mistreated when vulnerable (repeated)
Damn girl got back up
Rising against challenges despite adversity
Won't take this lying down
Refusing to remain passive despite mistreatment (repeated)
Sold me down the river
Betrayed severely (repeated)
Now there's a rising tide
The situation worsened significantly (repeated)
Oh, damn, didn't see that coming
Surprised by an unexpected turn of events (repeated)
I brought my own dynamite
Prepared for retaliation or a significant response (repeated)
