[Verse 1]
Em
Now, Tommy's a good father
Of two sons and a daughter
Em A
But he wakes up and he asks himself:
G
"Why even bother?"
Em
If he cannot feed his family
The wage he's paid's insanity
Em A G
Every day he's dealing with a new calamity
Em
Lost his old occupation
But it wasn't immigration
Em A G
It was a machine, automation that replaced him
Em
Politicians left him, corruption since the recession
Em A G
So he grabs his Smith and Wesson and says he'll teach 'em all the lesson like:
B D
[Chorus]
Em
"Get down on the ground!
G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
B D Em
Let it rain over Washington!
G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
B D Em
Let it rain over Washington!"
[Verse 2]
Em Em
Em
Now first he'd lost his pension
Sunk into depression
Em
Congress is defecting
A G
It's been adding to the tension
Em
Came back from war, and he's been post-traumatic stressing
Em A G
Can't afford his medicine he took for his aggression
Em
He needs help, relying on this system that rejects him
Em A G
Took away his benefits, but left him with his weapon
Em
Bought a one way ticket
He's entering the thicket
Em A G
To do the only thing that he's thinking will make a difference like:
B D
[Chorus]
Em
"Get down on the ground!
G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!
A
Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
B D Em
Let it rain over Washington!
G
It's a stick up! Nobody make a sound!

Don't even hiccup, or I'm emptying a round!
C
I'm done playing games, so I'm going down in flames!
B D
Let it rain over Washington!"
