Rob and I used to be massive conspiracy nuts. This song proves it.

lyrics

Every day there are teeth to be brushed,
Shoes to be tied and lawns to be cut.
Every day there are guns to be polished
And beds to be made and boots to be shined.
It's a full life.

I'm feeling kind of funny, I got a gun in my hand.
Got my finger on the trigger but I don't know where I am.
Read the paper today, gotta stick it to the man.
Gotta put you in my pocket. I gotta make you understand.

Every day there are children to take to school
And then bring them home again.
Every day there's a country to protect
And a Red under the bed you made.
And now you're in it.

I'm feeling kind of funny, I got a gun in my hand.
Got my finger on the trigger but I don't know where I am.
Texas Book Depository and I just got outta 'Nam.
Gotta get my shit together.
I gotta drag you under.

Every day there are wives to be loved
And neighbours to be nice to and men to be killed.
Every day there are jobs to go and PTA meetings to attend.
It's a full life.

I'm feeling kind of funny, I got a pain in my head.
Got a magic bullet in my gun and a body full of lead.
Every day I try and think about all that you said.
You get me closer to god,
You get me closer to dead.

It's a full life.
