Track 5 on the "Dancing With Skeletons" EP. In memory of Matt Christianson. RIP dear friend.
lyrics
Shot rings out across the lot!
Bodies left without a thought.
This is the way the game is played,
In the wild, wild west, master or slave.
No second chance for redemption,
Arm yourself or face annihilation!
Shot rings out across the lot!
Bodies left without a thought.
Lock and load or you'll be sorry,
Red and blue will tell your story.
Families cry and gnash their teeth,
Cops will try to catch a thief.
Are you watching?
Can you see?
Violence makes the world go round!
Listen closely hear the sounds.
Shots echo throughout the day!
Sirens come from far away.
Ghetto bird, way up high!
Yellow tape in your eye.
Only two types of people in the world,
The story of the quick and the dead!
It is time to pick a side!
Arm yourself and stand with pride!
Don't end up like Johnny over there,
Face down outside, family in despair.
You have a chance to change all that,
look at the world and face the facts.
It is time to pick a side!
Arm yourself and stand with pride!
History is written by the winner,
Might is right will make you a sinner.
It's up to you which way you delve,
Carried by six or judged by twelve!
It is time to pick a side!
Arm yourself and stand with pride!
Shots rings out across the lot!
Bodies left without a thought.
This is the way the game is played,
In the wild, wild west, master or slave.
No second chance for redemption,
Arm yourself or face annihilation!
Shots rings out across the lot!
Bodies left without a thought.
Lock and load or you'll be sorry,
Red and blue will tell your story.
Families cry and gnash their teeth,
Cops will try to catch a thief.
Are you watching?
Can you see?
Violence makes the world go round!
Listen closely hear the sounds.
Shots echo throughout the day!
Sirens come from far away.
Ghetto bird, way up high!
Yellow tape in your eye.
Only two types of people in the world,
The story of the quick and the dead!
