Send the battle the leaders is ready to roll
Send the beating to home
Send the battle the leaders are ready for war
Well you know
That we are one
Send the battle the leaders is ready to roll
Send the beating to home
Send the battle the leaders are ready for war
Well you know
That we are one
Sending a beating to go
Send the battle the leaders is ready to roll
Send the beating to home
Send the battle the leaders are ready for war
Well you know
That we are one
We are one
We are one
Castrate , castrate all
This campaign as hoping as you can never want anything as much as nobody thought you could!
Sending a beating to go
I don?t want poison and everyone's going crazy
I need to find a way out of this place god damn hell help me no poison no please owww.
Do I know who I am
When I know who are you
Demons know you try to
Lights are walking all over you!
Sending a beating
The battle is ready to go
Sending a beating
The battle is ready to roll
Sending a beating
The battle is ready to roll
Everybody is really ready to go
The lyrics of the song "We Are One" by Buckethead & Friends depict a call to arms, a rally for war, and a sense of unity. The repetition of the line "Sending a beating to go, send the battle the leaders are ready to roll" serves as a motivation for the soldiers to be prepared for the fight. The line "Well you know that we are one" is then repeated, emphasizing the sense of unity and togetherness among the soldiers fighting together. The lyrics are straightforward, leaving no space for ambiguity and infusing the sense of patriotism and readiness for combat.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of identity, as in the lines "Do I know who I am, when I know who are you" and "lights are walking all over you". The meaning behind these lines remains open to interpretation. It could be perceived as the soldiers trying to find their identity in a time of war, a sense of belongingness in the group, or it could be interpreted more metaphorically, questioning the identity of the self and society at large.

For that, you have to go to a Zappa Plays Zappa concert.
It would be fucking awesome to see Buckethead play with Dweezil and Frank's old crew.
