ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "To The Teeth"

the sun is settin on the century
and we are armed to the teeth
we are all working together now

to make our lives mercifully brief
schoolkids keep trying to teach us
what guns are all about

confuse liberty with weaponry
and watch your kids act it out
every year now like christmas

some boy gets the mildfed surburban blues
reaches for the avaliable aresenal
and saunters off to make the news

and women in the middle
are learning what poor women have always known
that the edge is closer than you think

when your men bring the guns home

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

it 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
yeah, malcom forecasted this flood

are we really gonna sleep through another century
while the rich profit off our blood?
true, it may take some doing

to see this undoing done
but in my humble opinion
here's what i suggest we do:


open fire on hollywood
open fire on MTV

open fire on NBC
and CBS and ABC
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 republician senator


and if i hear one more time
about fool's rights
to his tools of rage

I'm gonna take all my friends
and i'm gonna move to canada
and we're gonna die of old age
