Songtexte To The Teeth (Shootout Remix) - Ani DiFranco

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
