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
Now Tommy's a good father
Two sons and a daughter
But he wakes up and he asks himself
Why even bother
If he cannot feed his family
The wage he's paid's insanity
Every day he's dealing with a new calamity
Lost his old occupation
But it wasn't immigration
It was a machine
Automation that replaced him
Politicians left him
Corruption since the recession
So he grabs his
Smith and Wesson
Says he'll teach 'em all the lesson like
Get down on the ground
It's a stick up
Nobody make a sound
Don't even hiccup
Or I'm emptying a round
I'm done playing games
So I'm going down in flames
Let it rain over Washington
It's a stick up
Nobody make a sound
Don't even hiccup
Or I'm emptying a round
I'm done playing games
So I'm going down in flames
Let it rain over Washington
Now first he'd lost
Now first he'd lost his pension
Sunk into depression
Congress is defecting
It's been adding to the tension
Came back from war
And he's been post traumatic stressing
Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression
He needs help
Relying on this system that rejects him
Took away his benefits
But left him with his weapon
Bought a one way ticket
He's entering the thicket
To do the only thing that
He's thinking will make a difference like
Get down on the ground
It's a stick up
Nobody make a sound
Don't even hiccup
Or I'm emptying a round
I'm done playing games
So I'm going down in flames
Let it rain over Washington
It's a stick up
Nobody make a sound
Don't even hiccup
Or I'm emptying a round
I'm done playing games
So I'm going down in flames
Let it rain over Washington
There's a cold wind blowing
I'm just warning and preparing ya
There's a cold wind blowing blowing
And it's coming for America
And it's coming for America
And it's coming for America
Get down on the ground
It's a stick up
Nobody make a sound make a sound
Don't even hiccup
Or I'm emptying a round emptying a round
I'm done playing games
So I'm going down in flames
Let it rain over Washington
It's a stick up
Nobody make a sound
Don't even hiccup
Or I'm emptying a round
I'm done playing games
So I'm going down in flames
Let it rain over Washington
