[00:00.41] Justin.sane - Tommy Gun
[02:59.07][00:06.92]
[00:16.65] Little boy soldier, Tommy Gun,
[00:19.09] he'd kill to play "peacekeeper man"
[00:22.16] It's a little game he learned from dad,
[00:25.15] his daddy was a "peacekeeper" in Iraq
[00:28.01] Pretending he's off soldiering, in a distant far off land
[00:33.67] He cocks his gun - he shoots you down
[02:43.53][01:23.66][00:37.33] Murder again, and again, and again
[02:46.36][01:26.60][00:40.07] Murder again and again,
[02:49.69][01:29.66][00:43.07] Murder again and again and again
[00:46.10] Teaching the children to murder, oh.
[02:41.06][01:37.51][00:51.13]
[01:02.77] Sunday morning off to church, a red faced preacher sweating words
[01:08.39] This fat old fuck goes on and on, Tommy learns a special lesson
[01:14.64] "Thou shall love thy neighbor, and thou shall never kill
[01:20.29] Void in the name of cash."
[01:32.58] Teaching the children to murder, Yeah!
[01:39.38] You're gonna dream tonight little boy,
[01:43.04] and in the nightmare you're gonna wake up to think
[01:46.34] THAT'S WHEN YOU GET IT!
[02:00.78][01:47.62]
[01:51.88] They punish anyone, don't you know?
[01:55.39] who shows any sign of understanding more than the rhetoric
[02:14.62] Just like his dad and his dad's dad before him,
[02:17.41] Tommy went off to fight in a war
[02:20.09] And protect his people from an inhumane race,
[02:23.17] from an out of sight threat, in a far away place
[02:26.31] And just before Tommy got shot down,
[02:30.05] he stopped to think, to ask himself,
[02:33.71] "Are their armies also made up of their poor?" Ooh.
[02:52.60] Teaching the children to murder.
[02:56.99] How to murder.
