Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You have a natural tendency to squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties, you wear the right masks
You're old but you still like a laugh in the locker room
You can't abide change, you're at home on the range
[Verse 2]
You opened a suitcase behind the old workings
To show off the magnum, you deafened the canyon
A comfort, a friend only upstaged in the end by the Uzi machine gun
Does the vehicle  remind you, remind you of sex?
[Verse 3]
Old man, what the hell you gonna kill next?
Old timer, who you gonna kill next?
[Verse 4]
I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
Saw a US Marine in a pile of debris
I swam in your pools and laid under your palm trees
I looked in the eyes of the Indian who lay on the Federal Building steps
[Verse 5]
And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the frontline boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find on their desert stage
And the bravery of bein' out of range
Yeah, the question is vexed
[Verse 6]
Old man, what the hell you gonna kill next?
Yeah, yeah, old timer, you gonna kill next?
[Verse 7]
Hey, bartender, over here
Two more shots and two more beers
Sir, turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
[Verse 8]
Just love those laser-guided bombs
They're really great for righting wrongs
You hit the target and win the game
From bars three thousand miles away
Three thousand miles away
[Verse 9]
We play the game with the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim with the bravery of being out of range
We strike the train with the bravery of being out of range
We gained terrain with the bravery of being out of range
