This time it's gonna be the big one
This time they're gonna hit the roof
Tonight we're gonna block the main gates
We got nothing to lose
This time there's gonna be a fireball
This time there's gonna be a flood
Just put your money where your mouth is
Want water or blood
Are we tilting at the mill?
Were we hurting fit to kill?
Sure we're tilting at the mill
Just once we're gonna do the right thing
Just once we're going on a roll
This time I'm working down the dustpipe
Right out in the cold
Are we tilting at the mill?
Were we hurting fit to kill?
Sure we're tilting at the mill
Are we tilting at the mill?
Were we hurting fit to kill?
Sure we're tilting at the mill
