OPENING LINE
I don’t want to get over it
I want you to change your behavior
VERSE 1
Life would be great if it wasn’t for the people
What jerks will you meet? Let’s spin the wheel
It’s not America’s game show, but Russian Roulette
A bullet to the dome is what you’re bound to get
The screamers, the shooters, and everyone between
Barely an inconvenience on the TV news screen
The boogeyman they choose was never at fault
For bringing the economy to a grinding halt
CHORUS
Whenever I want to get on with my life
Always somebody there to bring down the knife
Just when I have the world all figured out
Here come the zealots ready to shoot and shout
The screamers!
The screamers!
Killing all the dreamers!
The screamers!
VERSE 2
Logic doesn’t work on the ones who need it most
They got the muscles of a Chad, brains of burned toast
You can lead a zombie to the doors of a college class
But you can’t make him pull his head out of his ass
CHORUS
Whenever I want to get on with my life
Always somebody there to bring down the knife
Just when I have the world all figured out
Here come the zealots ready to shoot and shout
The screamers!
The screamers!
Killing all the dreamers!
The screamers!
VERSE 3
When someone is too young to be a self-advocate
Their brains are molded by good old sacrament
They grow up to buy their own rifles and ammo
And they shoot up the world while wearing camo
These are the people we share a space with
Yet they call the disenfranchised a democratic myth
CHORUS
Whenever I want to get on with my life
Always somebody there to bring down the knife
Just when I have the world all figured out
Here come the zealots ready to shoot and shout
The screamers!
The screamers!
Killing all the dreamers!
The screamers!
