Michigan Militia Lyrics

(All)
I like to keep it in the refrigerator.
(Mike speaking through distortion)
Keeps the powder dry, and the action quicker.
(All)
Let me be your American Gladitor.
(Mike speaking)
Find enclosed an adhesive NRA sticker.

(Mike speaking)
A letter to you from where I've been holed up
in this bucolic, agrarian compound.
One step ahead 
(rest)
just ahead
(Mike speaking)
of the government bloodhound.

The gas is off, it's a national showdown.
(All)
Sure wish that I could visit you,
my sweet betrothed.
(Mike speaking)
In a couple of days
we'll all be free,
or we'll be dead.

(Jian)
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
I'm in the Michigan Militia.
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
I'm in the Michigan Militia.

(All)
Fencing off this little piece of heaven.
(Mike speaking)
Cross the line and you're electricuted.
(All)
Polishing up my AK47.
(Mike speaking)
It's a constitutional right, can't be refuted.

(Mike speaking)
Now they've got us on TV,
and making us look stupid.
Shot of me flippin' my lid,
at that mutt reporter,
a classic case of race dilution

(All)
Houston,

(Mike speaking)
What is the problem?
(All)
I'm fighting for you, and a blue-eyed Jesus.
(Mike speaking)
America first,
the rest get the pieces.

(All)
Na Na Na Na.

(All)
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
I'm in the Michigan Militia.
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
I'm in the Michigan Militia.

Fighting for your honor,
like would any Afrikaaner.
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
I'm in the Michigan Militia.

Our love is so strong (?our numbers are strong?), and it won't be long
till I can tell you, Tricia, that we won.
You'll be ecstatic, just like that night 
you told me up in the attic.
That was your wish again,
to be back in ?a? purified Michigan

down on...! down on...!

(Mike speaking)
..the farm.

(moog solo)

(Mike speaking)
Well, that's my wish again,
to be back in Michigan.

(All)
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
I'm in the Michigan Militia.
Happy Birthday, Tricia, 
(Well, that's my wish again, to be back in Michigan)
I'm in the Michigan Militia.

I hope you like the double barrel,
I think it goes with your apparel.
Happy Birthday, Tricia,
(Well, that's my wish again, to be back in Michigan)
I'm in the Michigan Militia.

(All)
I like to keep it in the refrigerator.
