[Verse 1]
B
Now, Tommy's a good father
Abm
Of two sons and a daughter
Abm
But he wakes up and he asks himself:
A Gm
"Why even bother?"
E
If he cannot feed his family
E
The wage he's paid's insanity
E
Every day he's dealing with a new calamity
C#m
Lost his old occupation
But it wasn't immigration
C#m A G E
It was a machine, automation that replaced him
E
Politicians left him, corruption since the recession
E A G
So he grabs his Smith and Wesson and says he'll teach 'em all the lesson like:
B Bm
[Chorus]
E
Get down on the ground!
Am G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying the rounds!
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
B D Em
Let it rain over Washington!
G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

Abm
Now first he'd lost his pension
Sunk into depression
Abm
Congress is defecting
A G
It's been adding to the tension
E
Came back from war, and he's been post-traumatic stressing
E A G
Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression
Em
He needs help, relying on this system that rejects him
E A G
Took away his benefits, but left him with his weapon
E
Bought a one way ticket
He's entering the thicket
E A C
To do the only thing that he's thinking will make a difference like:
B Bm
[Chorus]
E
Get down on the ground!
Em Am G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
B D E
Let it rain over Washington!
Em G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying the rounds!

I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!

Let it rain over Washington!
