Stick Up - grandson

Now, Tommy’s a good father

Of two sons and a daughter

But he wakes up and he asks himself:

Why even bother?

If he cannot feed his family

The wage he’s paid, it’s insanity

Every day he’s dealing with a new calamity

Lost his old occupation

But it wasn’t immigration

It was a machine, automation that replaced him

Politicians left him, corruption since the recession

So he grabs his Smith and Wesson and

says he’ll teach 'em all a lesson like:

Get down on the ground!

It’s a stick up!

Nobody make a sound!

Don’t even hiccup or empty on the ground

I’m done playing games, so I’m going down in flames

Let it rain over Washington

It’s a stick up!

Nobody make a sound!

Don’t even hiccup or empty on the ground

I’m done playing games, so I’m going down in flames

Let it rain over Washington

Now first he’d lost his pension

Sunk into depression

Congress is defecting

It’s been adding to detention

Came back from war, and he’s been post-traumatic stressing

Can’t afford his medicine he took for his aggression

He needs help, relying on this system that rejects him

Took away his benefits, but left him with his weapon

Are the one way ticket

He’s entering the thicket

To do the only thing that he’s thinking will make a difference like

Get down on the ground!

It’s a stick up!

Nobody make a sound!

Don’t even hiccup or empty on the ground

I’m done playing games, so I’m going down in flames

Let it rain over Washington

It’s a stick up!

Nobody make a sound!

Don’t even hiccup or empty on the ground

I’m done playing games, so I’m going down in flames

Let it rain over Washington

There’s a cold wind blowing

I’m just warning and preparing ya

There’s a cold wind blowing

And it’s coming for America

And it’s coming for America

And it’s coming for America

Get down on the ground!

It’s a stick up!

Nobody make a sound!

Don’t even hiccup or empty on the ground

I’m done playing games, so I’m going down in flames

Let it rain over Washington

It’s a stick up!

Nobody make a sound!

Don’t even hiccup or empty on the ground

I’m done playing games, so I’m going down in flames

Let it rain over Washington
