| «I'm not gonna climb
|
| A ladder for the rest of my life»
|
| You said that and stood back
|
| And you walked away before they could react
|
| Hearing cat calls from police cars
|
| And they say
|
| «What you gonna do about it dressed the way you are?»
|
| Yeah, it’s a very common lie
|
| They say you’re asking for it
|
| When you’re walking home alone at night
|
| They say the only thing that stops
|
| A bad man with a gun
|
| Is a good man with a gun
|
| The lies they scare in you
|
| The only thing that stops
|
| A bad man with a gun
|
| Is a good man with a gun
|
| The lies they use to control you
|
| So, you turned and walked away
|
| Forgot everything they taught you 'til that day
|
| And started arguing eloquently
|
| As to whether jet fuel could melt steel beams
|
| Hearing cat calls from a construction yard
|
| They’ll say, «Take it as a compliment, they’re only being nice»
|
| Yeah, it’s a far too common lie
|
| And you’ll carry keys between your knuckles
|
| When you walk alone at night
|
| They say the only thing that stops
|
| A bad man with a gun
|
| Is a good man with a gun
|
| The lies they sell to you
|
| The only thing that stops
|
| A bad man with a gun
|
| Is a good man with a gun
|
| The lies they use to control you
|
| It’s the trophy wives raising trophy wives
|
| Raising children on TV
|
| Scared of people like you and me
|
| Just don’t ask questions, you’ll sleep peacefully
|
| We will not go out in silence
|
| And we will not go quietly
|
| Nah, jet fuel can’t melt steel beams
|
| I’ve watched enough conspiracy documentaries, yeah
|
| They say the only thing that stops
|
| A bad man with a gun
|
| Is a good man with a gun
|
| The lies they use to control you
|
| The only thing that stops
|
| A bad man with a gun
|
| Is a good man with a gun
|
| The lies they use to control you
|
| Use to control you |
