Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you don't show and we're hung to dry.
We take it to the streets with our fists held high,
We're singing to a chorus of one tonight.
Well, you know it's too late
And we don't shoot straight.
Yeah, we take it to the streets with our heads held high,
Well, you know it's too late
And you don't shoot straight.
Yeah, we take it to the streets with our sights aimed high,
We pledge allegiance, freedom reigns tonight.
Right or wrong, heads too strong,
And we don't look back
Here today, we're all gone tomorrow
But we're throwin' it all away.
Life is strange, no time for sorrow,
But we're givin' it all away.
And we're led astray on election day.
When you don't know and we're out of time,
You're a no show and we're out of line.
We're six guns south with our barrels aimed high,
Take it to the streets with pistols by our sides.
And you know it's too late
But you don't shoot straight.
Well, we take it to the streets with our heads held high,
Singing to a chorus of one tonight.
Right or wrong, heads too strong,
And we don't look back
Here today, we're all gone tomorrow
And we're throwin' it all away.
Life is strange, no time for sorrow,
But we're givin' it all away.
And we're led astray on election day.
When you don't know, (and we're out of time)
And you don't show. (yeah, we're hung to dry)
Yeah, we take it to the streets with our sights aimed high,
We pledge allegiance, freedom reigns tonight.
And you know it's too late
And you don't shoot straight.
Yeah, we take it to the streets with our heads held high,
There's gonna be a riot in the city tonight.
Right or wrong, heads too strong,
And we don't look back...
Here today, we're all gone tomorrow
But we're throwin' it all away.
Life is strange, no time for sorrow,
But we're givin' it all away.
Here today, we're all gone tomorrow
But we're throwin' it all away.
Life is strange, no time for sorrow,
But we're givin' it all away.
And we're led astray on election day.
We're led astray, we give it all away
On election day.
The song "Straight Shooter" by Ann Beretta is a politically charged anthem that speaks to the frustration and anger felt by many during election time. The lyrics describe a feeling of being let down by those in power and a sense of desperation to take matters into their own hands. The lines "When you don't know and we're out of time, And you don't show and we're hung to dry" express a sense of abandonment and betrayal by those who were meant to lead.
Throughout the song, there is a call to action for people to take to the streets and fight for what they believe in. The line "We take it to the streets with our fists held high" shows a determination and passion to stand up and be heard. Despite the risks and consequences, the singer believes that they have no other choice than to fight.
The repetition of the phrase "And we're led astray on election day" highlights the disappointment and disillusionment felt by the singer and suggests a lack of faith in the political system. The song ends with the lines "We're led astray, we give it all away, On election day", which serve as a warning and a call to action for people to not let their voices be silenced and to never give up the fight for what's right.
Overall, "Straight Shooter" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that speaks to the frustrations of many and encourages people to stand up for their beliefs.

When you don't know and we're out of time,
When you are uncertain and we are running out of time,
And you don't show and we're hung to dry.
And you do not appear, leaving us hanging without help.
We take it to the streets with our fists held high,
We go to the streets with our determination and energy,
We're singing to a chorus of one tonight.
We are singing alone, with nobody joining us on our side.
Well, you know it's too late
You already know that it is too late,
And we don't shoot straight.
And we are not doing things efficiently and effectively.
Yeah, we take it to the streets with our heads held high,
Yes, we take our issues to the public with confidence,
A riot on the corner of the street tonight.
A possible violent disagreement might happen tonight.
Yeah, we take it to the streets with our sights aimed high,
Yes, we bring our problems to the public with high aspirations,
We pledge allegiance, freedom reigns tonight.
We promise loyalty to our beliefs, and freedom dominates the night.
Right or wrong, heads too strong,
Regardless of its rightness or wrongness, our leaders are too stubborn,
And we don't look back
And we do not regret whatever actions we had done before.
Here today, we're all gone tomorrow
We only exist today, and tomorrow we might disappear.
But we're throwin' it all away.
But we are wasting everything we have right now.
Life is strange, no time for sorrow,
Life is weird and unpredictable, so there is no room for regrets,
But we're givin' it all away.
But we are still wasting everything we own.
And we're led astray on election day.
And we are misled on the election day.
You're a no show and we're out of line.
You are absent, so we act improperly and deviate from what is expected.
We're six guns south with our barrels aimed high,
We bring six guns to the south, with aims to shoot high.
Take it to the streets with pistols by our sides.
We take our problems to the public, armed with weapons for protection.
There's gonna be a riot in the city tonight.
There will be a violent disturbance in the city later on tonight.
We're led astray, we give it all away
We are misguided, and we give everything we got to nothing valuable.
On election day.
During the day of voting and decision-making.

Bitter tongues is my favorite but this is very close! I love the street punk recording sound. Like one man army style.. I just saw Rob in Orlando in February. He's the coolest/nicest guy ever. I have been a fan boy since I was 16 and I'm 30 now. So we hung out one night. Very cool genuine individual.
