To the Teeth [Shoot-Out Remix] Lyrics

the sun is setting on the century

and we are armed to the teeth

we're all working together now

to make our lives mercifully brief

and school kids keep trying to teach us

what guns are all about

confused liberty with weaponry

and 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

that the edge is closer than you think

when the 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

by the time it takes this cultural

death wish to run it's course

they're gonna to make a pretty penny

and then they're going to hell

he said the chickens all come home to roost

malcom forecast it this way

are we really going to sleep through another century

while the rich profit off our blood

yeah 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 fools right to his tools of rage

i'm gonna take all my friends

and i'm going to move to canada

and we're going to die of old age
