Bilingual
You have a natural tendency to squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties
And you wear the right masks
You're old, but you still like a laugh in the locker room
You cannot abide change, you're at home on the range
You opened the 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
Looked in the eyes of the Indian
Who lay on the federal building steps
And through the rangefinder over the hill
Saw the frontline boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they found 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?
Hey, Old Timer, who you gonna kill next?

Thirty years later, it's the same old tune
No closer to peace than the man in the moon
The president's just as crazy as a loon
Still picking fights in some foreign saloon
Bombs still falling out of the sky
The band's still playing Miss American Pie
The gunner still sleeps in some foreign field
And the boys are still coming home on a shield
And nothing is real
And we play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We still zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We still strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We still gain terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
We're still fucking insane
With the bravery of being out of range
Still channeling John Wayne
With the bravery of being out of range
We're still blowing out our own damn brains
Yeah, with the bravery of being out of range

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
