The Rifle and the Song Lyrics - Trout Fishing In America

The Rifle and the Song
(E. Kaitz
The day was very subtle, everything was low-key
The sky it was so overcast that you could barely see
And everything slowed down to a slower frequency
The day the bass players took over the world
Well, they came pouring out of symphonies, orchestras and bands
And every other kind of combo that was ever known to man
And although it was spontaneous, you'd think it was quite planned
The day the bass players took over the world
Now one day the bass players, they decided to uprise
They were tired of being sidemen to all those other guys
So they kidnapped the horn section
They put drugs in the drummer's drink
And they tied up all the guitar player
With their big ol' flat-wound strings
And on that day the world it was finally set free
All the creatures they hung out together and interacted fretlessly
And the air began to vibrate with such a deep tonality
The day the bass players took over the world.
