A letra:

- Alright, boys, this is it, over the hill!

We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even wanna know your name.
We don't care where you're from or where you're going,
All we know it's that you came.
Your making all our decisions,
We have just one request of you,
That while you're thinking things over,
Here's something you just better do.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now. (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
Don't despair, paranoia's ev'rywhere.
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now. (Do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

We understand your paranoia,
But we don't wanna play your game.
You think you're cool and know what you are doing,
666 is your name.

So while you jerking off each other,
You better bear this thought in mind;
Your time is up, you better know it,
But maybe you don't read the signs.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it (do it) now. (Do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill,
And you still gotta swallow your pill,
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed.

Stop the killing!

(Free the people now) (do it, do it)

Do! (do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now) (Do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing! (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now. (Do it, do it, do it, do it)

Stop the killing! (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now) (Do it, do it, do it, do it)

Stop the killing! (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it) do it, do it, do it.
Bring on the lucie! (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it)
