Put your guns out on the table, throw your bullets on the floor   This weary old house can?t take it anymore   From the ovens in the kitchen to the chains out in the dirt   Rope hanging in the bedroom that?s some of our dirty work      The distant sleeping shadows that lie out in the yard   The wind that distorts the meaning of who we really are   Saluting of ourselves as we pass by our mirrors   This show of phony adulation just masquerades all our fears      So we open our eyes at midnight, see the setting of the sun   Foundation is crumbling, the inner structure?s gone   Used up by corruption and the passage of time   We hope we?ve got some fight left   'Cause our children, our children are dying      So we think that forgiveness is a God given right   And equality for all is just a waste of our time   With our nickel plated Jesus chained around our necks   Handing out verses of scripture like we wrote it down ourselves      Respect that we once had went up the water spout   Tried to keep it secret but the secret was found out   Got to thinking high and mighty like everything was a lock   Some now say this house can be taken without a shot      So the hole gets dug deeper with every wedding bell   And we sell each other down the road 'til there?s nothing left to sell   And slowly but surely we disappear without a trace   We point our fingers at each other say what the hell happened to this place   Without a shot, without a shot, without a shot
