Lyrics
(Andy partridge)
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
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
I'm speaking to the justice league of america The u s of a Hey you Yes you in particular! When it comes to the judgement day and you're standing at the gates with your weaponry You dead go down on one knee Clasp your hands in prayer and start quoting me 'Cos 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 we can hear them shooting from grave to grave You ought 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
