Bullies of the World
by bloc party
Y'know, I'm just so sick of this whole deal of ar- we arm the world; we arm these little countries and then we send troops over to blow the **** out of them. We're like the bullies of the world right now; you know that? We're like Jack Palance in the movie Shane, throwing the pistol at the sheepherder's feet...
Pick it up.
I don't wanna pick it up, Mister, you'll shoot me.
Pick up the gun.
Look, Mister, I don't want no trouble. I just came to town to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife. I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about four or five rolls a week of that stuff. I don't want no trouble, Mister.
Pick up the gun.
(He picks it up. Three shots ring out.)
You all saw him - he had a gun.
