[Intro]
(Bass riff)
 
 
[Verse 1]
N.C
A live wire, lives for today
N.C
Look at what you're doing, it matters not what you say
F#11
I'll tell you what is what, I'll tell you what is meant to be
F#11
All is not well in the land of the free
 
E
 
[Verse 2]
F#11
I'm a live wire from a spark I have grown
F#11
But when I'm gone you'll be on your own
 
E
 
 
[Verse 3]
F#11
Can't you feel my pulse, the current runs through me
F#11
I could be underfoot, don't tread on me
 
E
 
 
[Chorus]
C
A real live wire, the mean defier
  E
I stand against all odds
    C
The equalizer forged of fiber
     E
That stands up against the gods
C
Here to serve the rebels nerve
    E
And give his tongue its lash
             C
But when the battles turn and the ships are burned
         E
Then you know that's where I'll be
 
 
[Verse 4]
F#11
Like a live wire, watch it burn
F#11
Put the knife in oppression, when it's back is turned
 
E
 
 
[Verse 5]
F#11
Can't you feel my pulse, the current runs through me
F#11
I could be underfoot, don't tread on me
 
E
 
 
[Chorus]
C
A real live wire, the mean defier
  E
I stand against all odds
    C
The equalizer forged of fiber
     E
That stands up against the gods
C
Here to serve the rebels nerve
    E
And give his tongue its lash
             C
But when the battles turn and the ships are burned
         E
Then you know that's where I'll be
 
 
[Solo]
F#11
 
E
 
 
[Chorus]
C
A real live wire, the mean defier
  E
I stand against all odds
    C
The equalizer forged of fiber
     E
That stands up against the gods
C
Here to serve the rebels nerve
    E
And give his tongue its lash
             C
But when the battles turn and the ships are burned
         E
Then you know that's where I'll be
