The Smoking Gun - Thunder

The road into town

Timed it to perfection

Clear in his unhinged mind

The day had come for insurrection

Streets like open veins

Bleeding anger and frustration

So he preached with fury in his eyes

Before the congregation

We all stood laughing, smug in our disbelief

Hypnotized by a lying, common thief

And we all let the devil in

'Cause no one believed he could win

Now we’ve all left fingerprints on

The smoking gun

Build your borders high

On mistrust, fear, and suspicion

Dance, smile, and wave

While you’re dragging us all to perdition

While we are all wondering how this came to be

We should be asking how we didn’t see

And we all think we’re not to blame

But we’re all guilty just the same

'Cause the many became the one

With the smoking gun

'Cause we all let that madman run, ooh

We all stood laughing, smug in our disbelief

Hypnotized by a lying, common thief

And we all let the devil in

'Cause no one believed he could win

Now we’ve all left fingerprints on

The smoking gun

And we’re all guilty just the same

'Cause the many became the one

With the smoking gun, ooh
