lyrics

Top of the food chain
american white male
walks into a concert
Unleashes the hell
brewing inside his ruinous
mind body and soul
Got bodies hittin the floor
Pandemonium broke
Under investigation
Seemingly unprovoked
No religious affiliation
rhyme reason or motive
Everybody cryin’ and wonderin
how and why
But if we keepin’ it real it’s happening all the time
Top of the food chain
american white male
walks into a Church, theatre,
school, mall, or crowd
In the name of nothin’ he
unleashes the hell brewing
inside his privilege pride and prejudice
Media call him crazy
but really it’s curious
Mental illness exists everywhere on the globe
But only in America is every 24
hours another mass shooting
Now we havin’ mass
Light a candle
Thoughts and prayers
But God is not gassed
Prayin’ but hold fast
to gun rights and cash
You made off the goose
who lays golden gats
Glorified war and self-defense myths
A culture of violence
A cycle of death
But nothin’s gone change if the tickets still sell
‘Cause everybody loves an Al Capone tale,
From Hollywood films to these military planes
flying over the field at an NFL game
Murder is a patriot as red white and blue
Apple pie all American
and lucrative too
Big stick politics
What you gon’ do
Top of the food chain
and the only way to stay is to have
a bigger gun and be unafraid to spray
Trickle down from the white house
To the mind of an everyday American
with murder in his eye
Paranoid when you be the king of the hill
Do they kill because they crazy
or crazy because they kill
Top of the food chain
american white male
gas gained the whole world
and lost his own POOOOWWWWWW
