Tommy's Gun Ablazing

Tommy’s Video Game

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a stalking for the

enemy deep inside us all.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a hunting for the

enemy on TV inside us all.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a killing for the

demon screaming inside us all.

Chorus

Tommy’s guns ablazing’

Tommy’s guns afiring’

Tommy’s fun beginning

Tommy’s fun beginning

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead.

Verse

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a stalking for the

enemy deep inside us all.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a hunting for the

enemy buried inside us all.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a killing for the

demon screaming inside us all.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went a raging for the

tattered fears inside us all.

VERSE

Tommy with his submachine

gun went into the school

where the children cowered

Tommy with his submachine

gun went into the church

where the people prayed.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went into the post office

where the clerks worked.

Tommy with his submachine

gun went into their rooms

where they all quickly died.

Chorus

Tommy guns ablazing’

Tommy guns afiring’

Tommy’s fun beginning

Tommy’s fun beginning

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead.

Verse

Tommy never saw blue

lights flashing in the rain

never saw the gun at his head

I saw it all on TV a hundred

times every day, everyone was

happy when the bad were dead

I killed a thousand each day

on a video before noon and

today, only a dozen now dead.

I killed for you to let you know

I understood, the more who are

dead the better chance to win.

Chorus

Tommy’s guns ablazing’

Tommy’s guns afiring’

Tommy’s fun beginning

Tommy’s fun beginning

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead

Fall fall fall down dead.
