Melt The Guns - XTC

Programmes of violence

As entertainment

Brings the disease into your room

We know the germ

Which is man made in metal

Is really a key to your own tomb

Prevention is better than cure

Bad apples affecting the pure

You’ll gather your senses, I’m sure

Then agree to

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more to fire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more desire them

Melt the guns (you want to)

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more to fire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more desire them

Children will want them

Mothers supply them

As long as your killers are heroes

And all the media

Will fiddle while Rome burns

Acting like modern time Neros

Prevention is better than cure

Bad apples affecting the pure

You’ll gather your senses, I’m sure

Then agree to

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more to fire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more desire them

Melt the guns (you want to)

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more to fire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more desire them

I’m speaking to the Justice League of America

The US of A

Hey, you

Yes, you in particular

When it comes to the judgement day, and you’re standing at the gates in your

weaponry

You dead go down on one knee, clasp your hands in prayer and start quoting me

'Cause we say

'Cause we say

Our father we’ve managed to contain the epidemic in one place, now

Let’s hope they shoot themselves instead of others, help to civilize the race

now

We’ve trapped the cause of the plague in the land of the free and the home of

the brave

If we listen quietly you can hear them shooting from grave to grave

If we listen quietly you can hear them shooting from grave to grave

If we listen quietly you can hear them shooting from grave to grave

Grave to grave to grave to grave to grave to grave

Grave to grave to grave to grave to grave to grave

You should

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more to fire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more desire them

Melt the guns (you want to)

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more to fire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

Melt the guns

And never more desire them

Melt the guns

Melt the guns now

Melt the guns

Oh, melt the guns now

Melt the guns

Melt the guns now

Melt the guns

Melt the guns now
