lirik lagu chuck brodsky – not a single shot
not many people saw it
how they syphoned off the riches
how they covered for each other
how they scratched each other’s itches
how they took all they could carry
as much as they desired
not a single shot was fired
they auctioned off the sunsets
the beaches and the waves
the mountaintops and forests
what sweetheart deals they gave
to themselves and all their buddies
went the jewels of the empire
not a single shot was fired
they owned the tv stations
the radio and print
they controlled what people knew
and what the people didn’t
they packed the boards and ministries
turned up the amplifier
and not a single shot was fired
they preyed on people’s goodness
upon their trusting hearts
they dismantled progress
and then sold it off for parts
they spoke the kind of doubletalk
goebbels would admire
and not a single shot was fired
they demonized whole races
they made the people scared
and all the while from trumpets
patriotic music blared
“it could never happen here”
says the holocaust denier
not a single shot was fired
they often mention jesus
and sometimes thomas payne
this is the age of treason
they toast it with champagne
and behind the iron curtain
it’s all been secretly rewired
not a single shot was fired
cameras and checkpoints
and you have to show your papers
the armor and the riot gear
make robbing people safer
just who is all that ammo for?
and all of that barbed wire?
not a single shot was fired
old glory, she still flies above
the courthouse and the dome
the super bowl still happens
just like it did in rome
their ads appear on everything
like the flags of an occupier
and not a single shot was fired
not many people saw it
the rest they won’t believe
they look at you like you’re crazy
like it’s you who’s been deceived
they’re bullying the angels
for not singing with the choir
not a single shot was fired
