Van Halen Ballot Or The Bullet Lyrics

Give me liberty or give me death

No truer words, have ever been said

Are you prepared

For your very last breath?

Don't you dare start

Wht you cannot finish?

So when we face, face the adversary

No longer are we the minority...

And when history repeats her hour

The pendulum will swing

Swing into power

Though not in vain like our forefathers

Freedom, never had no room for cowards

For in the end, there will be equality

Be any means necessary

The ballot or the bullet

The choice is up to you

The ballot or the bullet

Tell me what you gonna do

The sword and the pen

Can be held, by the same hand

What's it gonna take to liberate

An emancipation, a false proclamation

All these token words that you legislate

Sound a little bit absurd, and a litte too late

When a house is divided

It just will not stand

Once it's decided

A line drawn in the sand
