The Bravery of Being Out of Range
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rekuWIKr55A

You have a natural tendency to squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties. You wear the right masks
You're old but you still like a laugh in the locker room
You can't abide change. You're at home on the range
You opened your suitcase behind the old workings to show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon. A comfort a friend
Only upstaged in the end by the Uzi machine gun
Does the recoil remind you, remind you of sex?

Old man what the hell you gonna kill next?
Old timer who you gonna kill next?

I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris.
I swam in your pools and lay under your palm trees
I looked in the eyes of the Indian who lay on the Federal Building steps
And through the range finder over the hill, I saw the front line boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find on their desert stage
And the bravery of being out of range
Yeah the question is vexed

Old man what the hell you gonna kill next?
Old timer who you gonna kill next?

Hey bartender over here, two more shots and two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound, the war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs. They're really great for righting wrongs
You hit the target, and win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away, 3,000 miles away

We play the game with the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim with the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train with the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain with the bravery of being out of range
