Here's a little story how the west was won The white men came and took out everyone They used dirty blankets and they used machine guns And they didn't think twice about what they'd done Here's a little story about Kevin Bacon He had a bunch of money but it got taken He got a bunch of lawyers and he tried to sue But Bernie looked him and said hey f*ck you! Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose Here's a little story about the congressmen They bailed out all of their billionaire friends You can blame Bush, or you can try to blame Obama But you should've fuckin' learned from your daddy or your momma Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose Some fights just ain't fair Some fights just ain't fair Some fights just ain't fair You don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose! Here's a little story about Tienanmen Square The people rose up and said Life ain't fair Now they're sweating in a shop making iPhones and You stand in front of tanks, the tanks are gonna win! Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, you'll lose Don't bring a knife Don't bring a knife, you'll lose
