M.I.A. Testo

Here's my song about gun control As my politics begin to roll Things are getting out of control It's time to stop, drop and rock 'n' roll We built and sold them the guns Made in America Glued to the tube TV before Dallas 1963 It was assumed baby boomers Bloomed doomed to ruin the country But who knew the children of Normandy Soon would resume war with Vietnamese Overseas, we sent 18 year-olds to bleed Face it, like Oswald woke the nation Osama woke my generation Now the kids of Nintendo If drafted will attend the Bush administration family agenda Of bending back hands and sending children Attacking Iraqi lands and buildings So Cheney can rebuild for 200 billion They'll disarm the regime but not the children We built and sold them the guns Made in America Sacrificing our kids lives for global crisis While fools of the NRA Watch kids shoot kids in high schools With tools they say kill deer Not fill pools of blood And guts, and tears, and the love and trust We lent to the government That's here to protect not just guns but us Don't place blame on video games Marilyn Manson or NWA How can we blame them for the situation? When an Alzheimer's patient Leads the Nation Rifle Association We built and sold them the guns Made in America I'm a Reagan Baby My formative years are the 1980s Russian production and reduction Of weapons of mass destruction Happened already Even the Cuban missile crisis Had pictures of bombs throughout the island To sway bias And now we hide behind bombs Dropped on innocent moms Ignoring gun control and dropping stocks Senate majority leaders opposing '57 Little Rock While we annihilate North Korea, Iran and Iraq If the government shoots first To stimulate commerce Things are only going to get worse If the government shoots first We built and sold them the guns Made in America We sold them the same guns That are now facing back towards us And what do we do? We go over there But until we view here and there as the same place We will always be fighting another religion, another race There are peaceful solutions There are peaceful resolutions Peace
