lyrics

Dreamed i saw the plains and Buffalo before the white man.
Coplands landscapes ringing in my ear.
Flew the hills and valleys bareback on a whupper will, 
with tumbleweed on Desert air
That land today, full of folk of all colours,
they all subject to the rich mans Flag and Fling,
Folk they say fought for LIberty and freedom
Yet they all fall servile neath the feet of a Dollar King

BV's:
all fall servile neath the feet of a Dollar
all fall servile neath the feet of a Dollar
King

Gunsmoke and the congress cleared the Prairies brought the Progress
We see it everywhere.
From Dunblane West to Faslane we've seen Progress
U.S. LEGAL stamped, its Victims and Despair.
They've fenced their Plains and concrete breaks the skyline,
they herd their people into shrines of Steel and Stone
and sell them Dreams of Freedom, wealth and Equity,
and Traps as Laws that the Rich have sown
Behind a veil of Cowboys in the Cinema
Scored by Bernstein and the West seemed won,
they justify the Deaths of Kids and Innocents and
Claim they're safer while they all Live under the Gun

Bv's
Claim they're safer while they all Live under the
Claim they're safer while they all Live under the
Gun

The Guns have gotten smarter than the Cowboys that are using them.
Thats a matter of Fact.
And every kid they kill has made a profit for an Industry,
that profits Guaranteed by an Act.
Solid Brass adorns the necks of all thosePresident who sell
for Gunsmiths to the World abroad.
Or use their might, to influence the Gullible, 
Lead us into Wars by Lies and Fraud.
They make a wasteland of more than just America,
pushing Colts and Bible's neath a Persian Sun.
They're Land will never be a beacon of Democracy
till it Free's itself from the vice and the Law of the Gun

BV's:
Free's itself from and the World from the Law of the Gun
Free's itself from and the World from the Law of the Gun

Claim they're safer while they all Live under the
Gun
Claim they're safer while they all Live under the
Gun

They all fall servile neath the feet of a Dollar King
