The Smoking Gun

(앨범: All The Right Noises - 2021)

He rode into town
Timed it to perfection
Clear in his unhinged mind
The day had come for insurrection

Streets like open veins
Bleeding anger and frustration
So he preached with fury in his eyes
Before the congregation

We all stood laughing, smug in our disbelief
Hypnotized by a lying, common thief

And we all let the devil in
'Cause no one believed he could win
Now we've all left fingerprints on
The smoking gun

Build your borders high
On mistrust, fear, and suspicion
Dance, smile, and wave
While you're dragging us all to perdition

While we are all wondering how this came to be
We should be asking how we didn't see

And we all think we're not to blame
But we're all guilty just the same
'Cause the many became the one
With the smoking gun
'Cause we all let that madman run

We all stood laughing, smug in our disbelief
Hypnotized by a lying, common thief

And we all let the devil in
'Cause no one believed he could win
Now we've all left fingerprints on
The smoking gun
And we're all guilty just the same
'Cause the many became the one
With the smoking gun
