Justin Sane - Tommy Gun lyrics

rate me

Little boy soldier, Tommy Gun, he'd kill to play "peacekeeper man"

It's a little game he learned from his dad,

his daddy was a "peacekeeper" in Iraq

Pretending he's off soldiering, in a distant far off land

He cocks his gun - he shoots you down

Murder again, and again, and again

Teaching the children to murder

Sunday morning off to church, a red faced preacher sweating words

This fat old fuck goes on and on, Tommy learns a special lesson

"Thou shall love thy neighbor, and thou shall never kill

Void in the name of cash."

Murder again, and again and again

Teaching the children to murder

You're gonna dream tonight little boy,

and in the nightmare you're gonna wake up to think

THAT'S WHEN YOU GET IT!

They punish anyone (don't you know?),

who shows any sign of understanding more than the rhetoric

Just like his dad and his dad's dad before him,

Tommy went off to fight in a war

And protect his country from an inhumane race,

and an out of sight threat, in a far off place

And just before Tommy got shot down,

he stopped to think, to ask himself,

"Are their armies also made up of their poor?"

Murder again, and again, and again

Teaching the children to murder
