2nd For A Reason



One look at the statistics
Drives home one simple fact
So we could fucking fight back

The logic is extremely simple
Allow the people to arm themselves
The weapon acts as a deterrent
And allows them to protect their wealth

Banning assault weapons and tracking ammo
Is just a quiet, subversive first step
To door-to-door gun collection
And paves the way for dictatorship

State's Rights is one solution
Over federal government
And maintain control over an issue
Important enough to be the 2nd Amendment

Fight for our rights and freedoms
The Right to Bear Arms

Fight for our rights and freedoms
The Right to Bear Arms

The idea that taking guns away
From law abiding citizens
To stop crime and prevent violence
Is about as stupid as it can get

Criminals don't care about the law
They buy their guns on the streets
Not in stores with paper trails
And documented receipts

Fight for our rights and freedoms
The Right to Bear Arms

Fight for our rights and freedoms
The Right to Bear Arms

*This is the second song I ever wrote on guitar.  More punk-ish, and that was the direction I began heading early on because it's easier to play for a new guitarist. 

**Recording Notes - I purchased a midi keyboard from M-Audio that came with a cheap version of Pro-Tools that was locked down.  Not knowing much about Pro-Tools, I programmed the drums with my Zoom 234 drum machine and direct input recorded them.  Then I mic'd a Hughes & Kettner Warp 7 head and a generic cab with a Heil PR20 in Magix at my buddy Jeremy's.  I used a Schecter Diamond Series Damian 7-String.  I used the native distortion on the Warp 7 for one side, and Boss Metal Zone MT-2 for the other side.  Unfortunately, somehow I lost the doubles, so the guitars aren't as beefy as they probably could've been.  I used a doubler plugin to emulate a second guitar track on either side to make up the difference a little.  Recorded vocals with a Heil PR20 in Pro Tools.  I direct input an Epiphone EB-0 into Pro-Tools.
