Automatic Rifle - Rocky Votolato

The night I turned 25 it was legos on the floor

It seemed like a safe enough game

For a man to play with his daughter

An automatic rifle and a bullet through the window

And the troops are satisfied that justice had been delivered

That was enough to set the spark of a vision in another

18 years — 18 year old girl — to see herself a martyr

To keep up with the cycle

Of an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window

And the troops were satisfied that justice had been delivered

Close your eyes to the sun’s blinding light

A three story concrete house and a steady paycheck

Cause open eyes will be

Infected with politics

And even a smart girl can end up

With a bomb strapped to her chest
