Musical Worldview: the Avett Brothers, "Bang Bang"

The-Avett-Brothers-Bang-Bang-Lyrics.jpeg

“I live in the country because I love peace and quiet
But all of my neighbors have closets full of machine guns
And every Sunday they’re out there pretending to be Rambo
And I’m in here pretending like Sunday is still sacred

Conceal and carry your fear
don't need no weapons here
I've had all I can stand
Of the bloodthirsty leading man”

“Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men”
