An old timey Western, where nobody gets shot,
A paradoxical play, with an impossible plot.
For its the land of guns, in the USA,
Squeeze one off, at the bullet buffet.
A man's life, worth the recoil? Collateral spray.
On the highways, malls, homes, and schools,
Conceal and carry, foul murderous tools,
A liitle un-hinged? Well thats OK,
They're as easy to get as tooth decay,
Guns dont kill people, is so cliche.
The Statue of Liberty is now packing heat,
Big old bazookas, I've seen the receipt.
So stand your ground, all you big tough guys,
Shoot em dead tween their eyes,
Dirty Harry's big ole surprise.
An old timey Western, where nobody gets shot,
Plays to an empty theater.
"Violence is the last refuge of the ignorant."
