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
