lyrics

I don't want you hangin' round my door
I can buy a gun at any corner store

Second amendment, civil rights
Reloaded redneck, hit the lights
Sandy Hook, NRA, G.W. Bush
James Earl Ray
The camera follows in slow motion
The dust rises, shows no emotion
He fingers the trigger with devotion
Who's got ‘em on the run?
Its an American with a gun

Turn my streets into the O.K. Corral
Take that thing outta my face
Listen to me pal

Nazi republican, make my day
Cold dead hands, sniper, J.F.K
Columbine, guns are hip
Al Capone, autoclip
Who's got the Blackhawks in the air?
Look out for his steely stare
Everyones dead but he don't care
Who's walking off into the sun?
Its an American with a Gun

Valentine's day, John Wayne
Armalites, its in vain
Jesse James, Oswald too
One a minute, its a zoo

I can't understand
The point they want to make
How many times
Must they make the same mistake?

They don't learn, they can't see
It ain't the land of the free
Whats the most dangerous thing to be?
Its an American
With a gun

Banshees and Harpsichords
by Niko Tsonev

Unique instrumental album. Tsonev goes beyond 'normal' guitar playing, creating exotic sounds and textures, all the while wrapping it all up within tight and well written songs with a clear direction. Three on the Tree
