To The Teeth (Shootout Remix)

Lyrics

The sun is setting on the century
 We are armed to the teeth
 We're all working together now
 To make our lives mercifully brief
 School kids keep tryna teach us
 What guns are all about
 Confused liberty with weaponry
 Watch your kids act it out
 And every year now like Christmas
 Some boy gets the milk fed suburban blues
 Reaches for the available arsenal
 And saunters off to make the news
 And the women in the middle
 Are learning what poor women have always known
 The edge is closer than you think
 When you men bring the guns home
 And 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 takes 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
 Young Malcolm forecasted this flood
 Are we really gonna sleep through another century
 While the rich profit off our blood
 And 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, CBC and ANC
 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, 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 going to move to Canada
 We're gonna die of old age
