Firestorm
Black Powder And Alcohol
Chorus:
Black powder and alcohol
When the states and the cities fall.
When your back is against the wall,
Black powder and alcohol.

Give me charcoal to the measure two.
Send the bullet where you want it to.
Give me sulfer to the measure three.
Make that powder gonna keep you free.
Give me salt peter, measure fifteen.
Sweetest shootin' that you've ever seen.

Gimme water, yeast, and veggie trash.
Leave it sittin' in a slurry mash.
When it's ready, put it in the still.
If you can't heat it then the sunlight will.
Draw the alcohol away, and then
Ya put the slurry back and start again.

Booze will clean your cuts or run your car.
You can make it anywhere you are.
Black powder in your cartridge shell
Will send the robbers runnin' clean to hell.
You can make 'em if you just know how,
So kids, remember what I'm tellin' you now.

Again,

Yah!
