79 Shiny Revolvers

79 shiny revolvers
American made misery night
Little you know, maybe you need one
One in your left hand and one in your right

Everyday and where ever I go now
The march of the man, the black and the blue
79 shiny revolvers
Pointing at me, love
And pointing at you

Now everybody talking about it
So we can talk about it too
You really wanna save the world man?
Well, I wanna save it too
We could blow 'em away
The American way
79 shiny revolvers

Open your eyes into the new day
Middle of June, officer down
Trying to sleep but all of the silence
It's been waking me up
And bringing me down

The camera's on to cover the action
Civilians all dressed to the nines
They gather around to see the disaster
Take a picture or two
Or get on the news
What a beautiful life

Now everybody talking about it
So we can talk about it too
You really wanna save the world man?
Well, I wanna save it too
We could blow 'em away
The American way
79 shiny revolvers

There's a killer on the run
But look at all the pretty flowers brought by everyone
What a beautiful array
Even though he got away

Now everybody talking about it
So we can talk about it too
You wanna be a superhero?
Well, I've got news for you
We could blow 'em away
The American way
79 (bang, bang, bang)
79 (bang, bang, bang)
79 shiny revolvers
