Track 13 from the Anecdata album 'But Her Emails...'

lyrics

if i was american
i wouldn't have a clue
they say they want silence
but only when it comes
on the end of handgun

they're living in violence
they're not the only ones
to live the news
and it hurts
to see the corruption
it was a good idea
live free or die

how many have to die for the right
to be a murderer

you can't beat the government
so why do you pretend?
this isn't the 1880s
you might have all the guns
but they have nuclear bombs

they're living in violence
they're not the only ones
to live the news

how many have to die for the right
to be a murderer

i don't want to be
shot in any arteries
i don't want to need
any major surgery
i don't want to have
blood coming out of my leg
it's true

i don't want a brain
splattered on the morning train
i don't need mcbain
shooting up my lumbar vein
i don't want to see
a toddler with an M16
it's true

they're living in violence
they're not the only ones
to live the news
and it hurts
to see the corruption
it was a good idea
live free or die

how many have to die for the right
to be a murderer
