Without A Shot |
Put your guns out on the table |
Throw your bullets on the floor |
This weary old house can’t take it anymore |
From the ovens in the kitchen |
To the chains out in the dirt |
Rope hanging in the bedroom |
That’s some of our dirty work |
The distant sleeping shadows |
That lie out in the yard |
The wind that distorts the meanings |
Of who we really are |
Saluting of ourselves |
As we pass by our mirrors |
This show of phony adulation |
Just masquerades all our fears |
So we open up our eyes at midnight |
See the setting of the sun |
Foundation is crumbling |
The inner structure’s gone |
Used up by corruption |
And the passage of time |
We hope we’ve got some fight left |
Cause our children |
Our children are dying |
So we think that forgiveness |
Is a God given right |
And equality for all |
Is just a waste of our time |
With our nickel plated Jesus |
Chained around are necks |
Handing out verses of scripture |
Like we wrote it down ourselves |
Respect that we once had |
Went up the water spout |
Tried to keep it secret |
But the secret was found out |
Got to thinking high and mighty |
Like everything was a lock |
Some now say this house |
Can be taken without a shot |
So the hole gets dug deeper |
With every wedding bell |
And we sell each other down the road |
Until there’s nothing left to sell |
And slowly but surely |
We disappear without a trace |
We point our fingers at each other |
And say what the hell happened to this place |
Without a shot |
Without a shot |
Without a shot |
