Stick Up
Lyrics
Now, Tommy's a good father Of two sons and a daughter But he wakes up and he asks himself Why even bother? If he cannot feed his family The wage he's paid's insanity Every day he's dealing with a new calamity Lost his old occupation But it wasn't immigration It was a machine, automation that replaced him Politicians left him, corruption since the recession So he grabs his Smith and Wesson And says he'll teach 'em all a lesson, like Get down on the ground It's a stick up Nobody make a sound Don't even hiccup or I'm emptying the round I'm done playing games So I'm going down in flames Let it rain over Washington It's a stick up Nobody make a sound Don't even hiccup or I'm emptying the round I'm done playing games So I'm going down in flames Let it rain over Washington ♪ Now first he'd lost his pension Sunk into depression Congress is defecting It's been adding to the tension Came back from war, and he's been post-traumatic stressing Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression He needs help Relying on this system that rejects him Took away his benefits, but left him with his weapon Bought a one way ticket He's entering the thicket To do the only thing That he's thinking will make a difference, like Get down on the ground It's a stick up Nobody make a sound Don't even hiccup or I'm emptying the round I'm done playing games So I'm going down in flames Let it rain over Washington It's a stick up Nobody make a sound Don't even hiccup or I'm emptying the round I'm done playing games So I'm going down in flames Let it rain over Washington ♪ There's a cold wind blowing I'm just warning and preparing ya There's a cold wind blowing And it's coming for America And it's coming for America ♪ And it's coming for America Get down on the ground It's a stick up Nobody make a sound Don't even hiccup or I'm emptying the round I'm done playing games So I'm going down in flames Let it rain over Washington It's a stick up Nobody make a sound Don't even hiccup or I'm emptying the round I'm done playing games So I'm going down in flames Let it rain over Washington Now, Tommy's a good father Of two sons and a daughter But he wakes up and he asks himself Why even bother?
