Lyrics

If I were you I’d lay those weapons down
Go home now to your pastor, Your minister, your priest
Your wife, your kids, your partner, your television and at least seek
forgiveness for the harm you’ve done

What did you think was gonna happen?
If you don’t watch out your fantasies will come true
And you’ll find yourself and your friends in a shoot out
With people all dressed in blue
Is that really why you came?
To give patriots a bad name

You shut the hell up, said the man in the center
What are you, some kind of wiseass?
No, just a concerned citizen.
They all stood there in silence
In the distance they heard sirens

If I were you I’d lay those weapons down
Go home now to your pastor, Your minister, your priest
Your wife, your kids, your mistress, your dealer and at least
Seek forgiveness for the harm you’ve done
And don’t forget how you came
To give patriots a bad name
