The Smoking Gun
The road into town
Timed it to perfection
Clear in his unhinged mind
The day had come for insurrection
Streets like open veins
Bleeding anger and frustration
So he preached with fury in his eyes
Before the congregation
We all stood laughing
Smogging our disbelief
Hypnotised by a lie and common thief
And we all let the devil in
'Cause no-one believed that he could win
But now we've all left fingerprints on
The smoking gun
Build your borders high
On mistrust, fear and suspicion
Dance, smile and wait
While you're dragging us all to perdition
While we are all wondering
How this came to be
We should be asking
How we didn't see
And we all think we are not to blame
But we are all guilty just the same
'Cause the ---- became the one
With the smoking gun
'Cause we all let that mad man run
Oooh oooh ooh
We all stood laughing
Smogging our disbelief
Hypnotised by a lie and common thief
And we all let the devil in
'Cause no-one believed that he could win
But now we've all left fingerprints on
The smoking gun
And we are all guilty just the same
'Cause the ---- became the one
With the smoking gun
Oooooh
Timed it to perfection
Clear in his unhinged mind
The day had come for insurrection
Streets like open veins
Bleeding anger and frustration
So he preached with fury in his eyes
Before the congregation
We all stood laughing
Smogging our disbelief
Hypnotised by a lie and common thief
And we all let the devil in
'Cause no-one believed that he could win
But now we've all left fingerprints on
The smoking gun
Build your borders high
On mistrust, fear and suspicion
Dance, smile and wait
While you're dragging us all to perdition
While we are all wondering
How this came to be
We should be asking
How we didn't see
And we all think we are not to blame
But we are all guilty just the same
'Cause the ---- became the one
With the smoking gun
'Cause we all let that mad man run
Oooh oooh ooh
We all stood laughing
Smogging our disbelief
Hypnotised by a lie and common thief
And we all let the devil in
'Cause no-one believed that he could win
But now we've all left fingerprints on
The smoking gun
And we are all guilty just the same
'Cause the ---- became the one
With the smoking gun
Oooooh
