Lyrics
The town in Georgia's got a law on the books
The town in Georgia has a law advocating that widespread gun ownership would deter crime.
Says if we all got guns then we won't have crooks
Belief that increased gun possession among people would reduce criminal activities.
Now what could make them think that way?
Questioning the reason behind such a belief or mindset.
What could make them act that way?
Questioning the behavioral impact of such a belief on people's actions.
They're just right-wing pigeons from outer space
Describing certain individuals as "right-wing pigeons" metaphorically from outer space, representing a destructive force.
Sent here to destroy the human race
Suggesting these individuals were sent to Earth with a destructive purpose.
They don't give a damn about you or me
They are indifferent to the well-being of others and pursue self-interest.
They just buy guns and a-watches TV, let's go!
They engage in consumerism and passive entertainment, implying a lack of concern for societal issues.

The man in the White House who just don't care
