Just hear us out here, if we sell enough
Weapons to the right ones, the wrong ones
Will drop their guns and we can pick them up 
Where they’ve fallen in the dust and use them 
To kill more of the wrong ones, who will drop
Their guns and so on and so forth. In other words, 
The more weapons we sell to the right ones,
The less likely the wrong ones will be
To kill the right ones so that, over time,
The right will outnumber the wrong.
You see it’s a whole strategy that it behooves us
All to support, indeed, to pay for, for instance
At the store, buying your bananas, maybe 
A penny, a penny you would have lost
Between the couch cushions, will go instead
As taxes to this cause of helping there be more
Right ones than wrong ones, and you might 
Never even have known that penny was there
Between the couch cushions all those years
You were sitting there, watching the world end.
