Sit back and listen to these words About the economics of violence The supply and demand of goods And services as a science When it rains a company sells you an umbrella To protect against the rain and its wetness But, if it stopped raining, they might go out of business Out of business How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining? How can we improve our strategy when our sales are declining? Let's go visit an office park where our tenant is a gun company Planning their business objectives secretly Safe from you and me How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining? How can we improve our sales when the overall market is declining? Let's now attend the meeting of a local company Specializing in home and business security Planning to increase their sales in a market economy We are taking suggestions from the staff We'll start with Bruce. What do you have? I think we should pay some bad boys To kill an old lady and to make some noise Everybody at the meeting laughs Everybody laughs... And what about you Ken? We can make an old movie with a new end With a tough guy and his oversized body He'll do anything for fame and money Make it cool to hold a gun Make it cool to shoot/kill everyone Everybody at the meeting claps Everybody claps... How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining? How can we kill the flowers in this neighborhood that are surviving? Now we'll visit a media broadcaster Crime scene, crime story, murder, burglary Theft, rape, police brutality These are the titles that shock and scare We're getting rich off disaster We only give what the people want This is what they want How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining? How in the world can we bring on sorrow To make the audience start crying? Lastly, we'll sit in the seat of a defense weapons contractor What we need is a civil war out there We can sell the residents grenades and rocket launchers Promoting the arms we all have a right to bear We have a right to bear... How in the world do we make it rain when the sun is shining? How can we reverse these market trends That are killing and dividing? |
