Actors With Guns (Sleepwalk Through The Mantra)

Up with the young gun
Slow that nature down son
Up with the young gun
Father nature’s last run

The plastic screened the pauper
And the father gave it birth
The moviemaker madness
Make that magic Mother Earth

The golden age of gamble
The devil he may not care
The shake and bake preamble
The cost of Vainly Fair

Shake the bastard ballpark
And the palaces collapse
Gunplay in the deep dark
In the Theater of Apps

Dump the pastor
Your movies made faster
Let these people do they job
The Christian color Fitbit slob
Burn the master
Your movie disaster
Hollywood’s collective sigh
The blockbuster afraid to die

Up with the young gun
Slow that nature down son
Up with the young gun
Father nature’s last run

The Newlywed Bachelorette Game
Your movies made Active Shooter (same)
Valve Corp suckers make my day
When I say I’ll be back
I’ll be back to stay

When you sauté
Romantic gunplay
Reaffirm the status quo
Day after day
 
Dump the pastor
Your movies made faster
They sink your battleship today
They fondle memory and say
Burn the master
Your movie disaster
Bubba Gump with Guns ablaze
Hollywood’s collective gaze

Shake

When you call it quits
That’s about it
When you call it quits
That’s about it
When the bubble gets blown
And you’re alone
With your jail broke home
That you erased
And then replaced
And now you’re on your own
You wanna free pass
Asked to asked
And beat the past
Roll the sleeves up
Somethin’ with the weed’s up
Miss the breeze of
Adults in the room
Playing with guns
Playing with you
And everybody else
And everyone you knew

Up with the young gun
Slow that nature down son
Up with the young gun
Father nature’s last run

What in the world of the world
That we made and destroyed
In our image of man in the void
In the palm of your hand
In the blink of the why
Carry on dream
In the dream where you die
Carry on dreaming
The beggar’s life
I save your life
You my save my life today
Let these people do they jobs
The Christian color Fitbit slobs
The liquor store
The gun eBay
Hollywood’s collective sigh
The blockbuster afraid to die

Shake
Shake
Shake

When you call it quits
That’s about it
When you call it quits
That’s about it
Tear the news machine down
Circle ‘round
The stereo sound
Make a party for the locals
Locals stand your ground
One step beyond the contract
No one ever signed
Blind-sided by the Bright Lite
That just arrived
Become your own editor
Kill the social predator
Hack into the brain that
God gave you
For something better
Or...
Sleep walk through the mantra
Sleep walk through the mantra
