The Dead Milkmen Ringo Buys A Rifle lyrics

We aren't ourselves, brains on the shelf
We'll all wake up when Ringo buys a rifle
We live, we breathe, we spread disease
That all must end when Ringo buys a rifle

People told him what to say
Ordered had his dream away
Paul was dubbing Ringo's drumming
John was dubbing Ringo's humming
People were starting to talk

We start wars, forget the poor
That all must change, Ringo buys a rifle
We stand tall, try to evolve
We'll walk on water, Ringo buys a rifle

Animals will bear their fangs, Pope will join a gang
We'll all get new shoes when Ringo buys a rifle
Buildings come crashing down, lost things will be found
Life'll be so much better when Ringo buys a rifle

Tried to keep his head level
Was possessed by the devil
Church is callin' Ringo's mom
Telling her Ringo's a bum
Rumors are starting to fly


We'll be one to love a gun
That's how we'll live, Ringo buys a rifle
We start small, must learn to crawl
We'll learn to fly, Ringo buys a rifle

He doesn't want to be cute, he just wants to shoot
Blow them away, make them all pay
His mind has jumped track, he's a Beatle maniac
Hey Paul, you asshole, dub this

When Ringo buys a rifle
When Ringo buys a rifle

People told him what to say
Ordered had his dream away
Paul was dubbing Ringo's drumming
John was dubbing Ringo's humming
People were starting to talk

He is one with indoor plumbing
Paul's still dubbing Ringo's drumming
He's formed with the NRA, stealing every dream away
Rumors are starting to fly, he let this acid dream away
