Ani Difranco - To The Teeth Lyrics
The sun is settin on the centuryAnd we are armed to the teethWe are all working together nowTo make our lives mercifully briefSchoolkids keep trying to teach usWhat guns are all aboutConfuse liberty with weaponryAnd watch your kids act it outEvery year now like christmasSome boy gets the mildfed surburban bluesReaches for the avaliable aresenalAnd saunters off to make the newsAnd women in the middleAre learning what poor women have always knownThat the edge is closer than you thinkWhen your men bring the guns homeLook at where the profits areThats how youll find the sourceOf the big lie that you and iBoth know so wellIt the time it takes this culturalDeath wish to run its courseTheyre gonna make a pretty pennyAnd then theyre all going to hellHe said the chickens all come home to roostYeah, malcom forecasted this floodAre we really gonna sleep through another centuryWhile the rich profir off our blood?True, it may take some doingTo see this undoing doneBut in my humble opinionHeres what I suggest we do:Open fire on hollywoodOpen fire on mtvOpen fire on nbcAnd cbs and abcOpen fire on the nraAnd all the lies they told usAlong the wayOpen fire on each weapons manufacturerWhile hes giving headTo some republician senatorAnd if I hear one more timeAbout fools rightsTo his tools of rageIm gonna take all my friendsAnd Im gonna move to canadaAnd were gonna die of old age
