“Get Born” by Jet has to be one of the best rock debut albums in quite some time. You can hear their influences (Rolling Stones, the Kinks, AC/DC, Oasis) throughout the album, yet it remains fresh and new. The lyrics aren’t the most profound, but they work with the music. This is true rock and roll done well, so it’s about time I posted a Jet song as the Sunday Song Lyric. Since “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” get so much radio airplay, I thought I’d post “Lazy Gun” instead:
Lazy Gun messed up my television yeah
You get no Younger from those colours in your hair
Teach your kids how they’re all young enough to fight
Talk about the answer
Tell them they’re alright
Change Nothing
Futures in
Close the door
Wear a name
Be the same
Take some more
Lazy gun messed up my television fun
Shoot the shotgun but the war is never won
Who’s the enemy, who’s sucking on my sun?
I’m the only one left now you’ve taken all my fun
Change Nothing
Futures in
Close the door
Wear a name
Be the same
Take some more
