lyrics

Guitars Aren't Guns

We want musicians, not politicians
We don't have time for your “creative vision”
We prefer to swallow the fictions
That coat corporate sponsorships and old-time religions

After all, your art's just entertainment
For our passive consumption
Who are you, Mr. Rock Star?
My Cheetos don't preach to me!

So let's just confide in the misleading conceptions
Of those who rule us, based on deception
Yeah, let's just take pride in
That misleading perception:
Consensus only comes through deception

We want your melodies, not your opinions
Can't you tell, we're not really listening
We want to feel an escape from the system
And don't need you to just rub our faces in it!

For that, we have experts
On TV and in office
Chosen through the polls and the markets
You, you're just something I buy at Target!

So let's just confide in the misleading conceptions
Of those who rule us, based on deception
Yeah, let's just take pride in
That misleading perception:
Consensus only comes through deception

I like his personality
He's a good Christian
My friends and family trust him
He looks mighty powerful on TV

My party says, “Go, go, go!”
Part of me says, “No, no, no...”
