The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range Lyrics

Artist: Roger Waters
Album: Amused To Death

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
A comfort a 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
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
With the bravery of being out of range
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range

by Joanne on 4/23/2011 9:24pm Brilliant lyrics.
by Wilson on 5/6/2011 7:38am Techonological armies and soldiers consider themselves powerful when they do not have to face the madness of suffering because they have tele directed missiles. Good lyrics against war and army governments. I hope millions of people mut listen to it
by Tuxmen on 5/18/2011 4:49pm Roger Waters you are a Legend. The Best.
by Kurt on 11/20/2011 8:01pm I wonder how Roger would feel if the Americans didn't come to Europe's rescue during the 2nd World War.
by DapOrp on 1/1/2012 10:55pm @Kurt, this song is not a commentary on the US Military as a whole, or even specifically the US Military, but rather the evolution of warfare in general. You have to understand that the war fought as WWII is ENTIRELY different than the war(s) being fought in the past 2 decades.
