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", Malcolm forecast the flood, 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
