Ian Thompsen - Disarming Man lyrics

[Intro] The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun Is a good guy with a gun [Verse 1 Shots fired! Another body count The only surprise left Is the amount Of blood in the soil Of our precious homeland We feign shock and horror But it's all pretend Watch the TV news As the ghouls watch The ratings rise As every body drops But this is just routine This is America We die with brains shut off And fingers on our triggers [Verse 2] Bombs drop! Civilian casualties No surprises here Just total apathy It's a foreign soil No frame of reference To those in power We offer complete deference It's in our national interest It's about security A "War on Terror"'s Not a war on you and me It's not America This blood in the sand It's all just abstract concepts In a far off foreign land [Verse 3] Disarm! Shots fired! And blood on city streets We get more used to it Every pa**ing week Another young kid dead Another tragedy And yet again The k**er had a badge, you see? "The cops know what they're doing To serve and protect" That's how we justify Every life that's wrecked This is the arrogance Of our white America When we refuse to say that Black Lives Matter [Verse 4] And your sacred Right to bear arms Says you reserve the right To inflict harm Well I don't trust you Anymore than I trust the government To me it's all the same It's "might makes right" It's violence [Outro] Disarm! Disarm the populace! Disarm! Disarm the police! Disarm! Disarm every nation-state! No war! No violence! Fight for peace!
