Lyrics

Another bang bang shoot 'em up movie Pride and vengeance all around Another bang bang shoot em' up movie Meant to blow my mind Make my heart pound Bridges and tempers on fire Please turn it off I'm tired Of Bang bang bang shoot 'em up movies Have you ever had a gun pointed directly at you And there isn't any doubt it's loaded and ready to go Well I have twice and I don't recall any heroes on the scene Just adrenaline and fear and a few souls who have unfortunately seen A lot of bang bang shoot 'em up movies People putting people in the ground Bang bang shoot 'em up movies Meant to turn my head Make my heart pound Fiction and commerce conspire Please turn it off I'm tired Of bang bang bang shoot 'em up movies I live in the country because I love peace and quite But all of my neighbors have closets full of machine guns And every Sunday they're out there, pretending to be Rambo And I'm in here pretending like Sunday is still sacred Conceal and carry your fear Don't need no weapons here I've had all I can stand Of the bloodthirsty leading man If you think there isn't any connection between All the violence you see in real life and what's on the screen Well it seems painfully clear to me That you're living in a fantasy Another bang bang shoot 'em up movie Living room like a battle ground A bang bang shoot 'em up movie Meant to push the envelope Make me say 'wow' If I never hear gunfire again I'll be fine So please turn it off I'm tired Of bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang Bang bang bang
