| The sun is setting on the century
|
| And we armed to the teeth
|
| We’re all working together now
|
| To make our lives mercifully brief
|
| Schoolkids keep trying to teach us
|
| What guns are all about
|
| Confuse liberty with weaponry
|
| And watch your kids act it out
|
| Every year now like christmas
|
| Some boy gets the milkfed suburban blues
|
| Reaches for the available arsenal
|
| And saunters off to make the news
|
| And the women in the middle
|
| Arelearning what poor women have always known
|
| That the edge is closer than you think
|
| Whe your men bring the guns home
|
| Look at where the profits are
|
| That’s how you’ll find the source
|
| Of the big lie that you and i
|
| Both know so well
|
| In the time it take this cultural
|
| Death wish to run its course
|
| They’re gonna make a pretty penny
|
| And then they’re all going to hell
|
| He said the chickens all come home to roost
|
| Yeah malcolm forecasted this flood
|
| Are we really gonna sleep through another century
|
| While the rich profit off our blood?
|
| True it may take some doing
|
| To see this undoing through
|
| But in my humble opinion
|
| Here’s what i suggest we do
|
| Open fire on hollywood
|
| Open fire on MTV
|
| Open fire on NBC
|
| And CBS and ABC
|
| Open fire on the NRA
|
| And all the lies they told us
|
| Along the way
|
| Open fire on each weapons manufacturer
|
| While he’s giving head
|
| To some republican senator
|
| And if i hear one more time
|
| About a fool’s right
|
| To his tools of rage
|
| I’m gonna take all my friends
|
| And i’m gonna move to canada
|
| And we’re gonna die of old age |
