Theme
The title stands for **'Fight For Freedom'** (and is also often seen as 'Fast Forward Fever'), and the song is a high-speed political thrash track. It deals with cynical themes of class warfare, social cleansing, and the relentless pressure to survive in a dehumanizing system that 'eliminates the poor' while the privileged 'crack a demon smile.'
Lyrics
Looking for a cure within the human race
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take
Burning up the tents of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country tis' of me
Cry for absolution, it's not the end for me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war machine, don't get in its path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
I don't know how much more I can take
Fight!... It's my country
