Lyrics
0:15Now Tommy's a good father
0:17Two sons and a daughter
0:19But he wakes up and he asks himself
0:21Why even bother
0:22If he cannot feed his family
0:25The wage he's paid's insanity
0:26Every day he's dealing with a new calamity
0:29Lost his old occupation
0:32But it wasn't immigration
0:33It was a machine
0:35Automation that replaced him
0:37Politicians left him
0:39Corruption since the recession
0:40So he grabs his
0:41Smith and Wesson
0:42Says he'll teach 'em all the lesson like
0:46Get down on the ground
0:49It's a stick up
0:50Nobody make a sound
0:52Don't even hiccup
0:53Or I'm emptying a round
0:56I'm done playing games
0:58So I'm going down in flames
1:00Let it rain over Washington
1:03It's a stick up
1:04Nobody make a sound
1:06Don't even hiccup
1:08Or I'm emptying a round
1:10I'm done playing games
1:12So I'm going down in flames
1:14Let it rain over Washington
1:17Now first he'd lost
1:23Now first he'd lost his pension
1:24Sunk into depression
1:26Congress is defecting
1:28It's been adding to the tension
1:30Came back from war
1:31And he's been post traumatic stressing
1:33Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression
1:37He needs help
1:38Relying on this system that rejects him
1:41Took away his benefits
1:42But left him with his weapon
1:44Bought a one way ticket
1:46He's entering the thicket
1:47To do the only thing that
1:49He's thinking will make a difference like
1:53Get down on the ground
1:56It's a stick up
1:57Nobody make a sound
1:59Don't even hiccup
2:00Or I'm emptying a round
2:03I'm done playing games
2:05So I'm going down in flames
2:07Let it rain over Washington
2:10It's a stick up
2:11Nobody make a sound
2:13Don't even hiccup
2:14Or I'm emptying a round
2:17I'm done playing games
2:19So I'm going down in flames
2:21Let it rain over Washington
2:37There's a cold wind blowing
2:40I'm just warning and preparing ya
2:44There's a cold wind blowing blowing
2:47And it's coming for America
2:51And it's coming for America
3:05And it's coming for America
3:08Get down on the ground
3:10It's a stick up
3:11Nobody make a sound make a sound
3:14Don't even hiccup
3:14Or I'm emptying a round emptying a round
3:17I'm done playing games
3:19So I'm going down in flames
3:21Let it rain over Washington
3:24It's a stick up
3:25Nobody make a sound
3:28Don't even hiccup
3:29Or I'm emptying a round
3:31I'm done playing games
3:33So I'm going down in flames
3:35Let it rain over Washington
