Wakas Thoughts on Life and Love and All Things in Between

The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range



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..



Hey bartender over here
Two more shots and two more beers

Sir turn up the TV sound.....the war has started on the ground!


3000 miles away..................From 3000 miles away


You play the game with the bravery of being out of range!

You maim again with the bravery of being out of range!




Old man what the hell you gonna kill next?

Old timer who you gonna kill next?




From 3000 miles away.............




Till the next time friends

Hiya D!

The text is the lyrics (in part) to a Roger Waters song called (wait for it) The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range.

Glad you thought it was funny :frown:

Wow.

Didn't know ol' Rog had it in him.

He always did have a way with the caustic lyric.
