From My Cold Dead Hands
Defending Liberty: The Anthem of Armed Patriots
Lyrics
My country 'tis of thee
Expresses patriotism and a connection to one's country.
Bless me with the guns I need
Requests divine intervention or support for obtaining necessary weapons.
To stand against a tyrannical force
Desires arms to resist a tyrannical force representing oppressive governance.
Here to govern me
Addresses the presence of a governing force in the country.
My country 'tis of thee
Repeats the theme of patriotism and the desire for necessary firearms.
Bless me with the guns I need
Reiterates the request for divine blessing in obtaining guns for defense.
To stand against a tyrannical force
Restates the need for weapons to resist oppressive forces.
Here to govern me
Acknowledges the existence of a governing authority.
So go and seize the day
Encourages taking action and making the most of the present moment.
We're all pirates in this game and when you look around everything's for sale
Portrays a metaphorical view of society as a game where everything is available for purchase.
So go and seize the day
Reiterates the call to seize the day in a world where everything is commodified.
We're all pirates in this game and when you look around everything's for sale
Repeats the metaphor of individuals being like pirates in a transactional society.
Since seventee ninety-one we declared independence from the land that tried to rule us From great Beyond the sea
Refers to the historical declaration of independence and a threat from a distant land.
We heard a warning that the enemy was here and so we stood our ground fought the Wars now we stand here free
Narrates a past struggle for freedom against an enemy, resulting in standing free.
And So we've earned the right to bear the arms and form militias to defend the land that We fought and died for
Asserts the earned right to bear arms and form militias for defending the fought-for land.
And to the men in power Just because we're in the party doesn't mean these guns won't Come knocking at your door
Warns those in power that being part of a political party doesn't prevent resistance.
My country 'tis of thee
Repeats the expression of patriotism and the desire for necessary firearms.
Bless me with the guns I need
Reiterates the request for divine support in obtaining weapons for defense.
To stand against a tyrannical force
Reaffirms the need for arms to resist oppressive forces.
Here to govern me
Acknowledges the presence of a governing force in the country.
My country 'tis of thee
Repeats the theme of patriotism and the desire for necessary firearms.
Bless me with the guns I need

Here to govern me
