Bravery of Being Out Of Range
Intro:
You have a natural tendency
To squeeze off a shot
You re good fun at parties
You wear the right masks
You re old but you still
Like a laugh in the locker room
You can t abide change
You re at home on the range
You opened your suitcase
Behind the old workings
To show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon
comfort 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
I looked in the eyes of the Indian
Who lay on the Federal Building steps
And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the front line boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find
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
Old timer who you gonna kill next

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
