"Bang Bang" Lyrics:

• 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 lotta 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 quiet

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 and real life and what's on 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
