Bobaflex is an odd beast, a bracing mix of heavy riffage, hip-hop-inspired beats and alternately growling and soaring vocals. There are four singers in the band, so the angle of attack constantly shifts, which is partly why the bands songs careen around your brain far longer than hard rock's usual offerings.
BOBAFLEX released their 6th album CHARLATAN’S WEB on BFX RECORDS on September 10, 2013. The long anticipated follow up to 2011’s HELL IN MY HEART that featured the singles BURY ME WITH MY GUNS ON, CHEMICAL VALLEY and THE SOUND OF SILENCE. The first single off the album BAD MAN recently entered the charts at #38, their highest ranking for a single in their history.

Hey
Hey
Hey
This conversations over
It makes no sense to me
You could have stopped the suffering
But now your reign is over
It to me
Im going to show you what I mean
Bury me with my guns on
So when I reach the other side
I can show him what it feels like to die
Bury me with my guns on
So when Im cast out of the sky
I can shoot the devil right between the eyes
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
The pearly gates are broken
and its the strangest thing
The angels could have warned you
but no one said a thing
The shot was quick and painless
and did change everything
Its time to choose a better king
Bury me with my guns on
So when I reach the other side
I can show him what it feels like to die
Bury me with my guns on
So when Im cast out of the sky
I can shoot the devil right between the eyes
The castles falling down
Beneath the deep blue sea
THeyve seen my face before

I scream the words out loud
Our souls are finally free
Its time to open up our eyes
Hey

Bury me with my guns on
So when I reach the other side
I can show him what it feels like to die
Bury me with my guns on
So when Im cast out of the sky
I can shoot the devil right between the eyes
The castles falling down
Beneath the deep blue sea

Our souls are finally free
Its time to open up our eyes

The lyrics to Bobaflex's song "Bury Me With My Guns On" speak about a desire for vengeance and justice after experiencing pain and suffering. The singer of the song feels that those in power had the ability to stop the suffering and screams, but didn't take action. As a result, they seek to take matters into their own hands, even in the afterlife. They want to be buried with their guns so that they can show their oppressor what it feels like to die and shoot the devil right between the eyes if they are cast out of the sky. The lyrics also speak about how the world they knew is falling apart, but they are hopeful that their souls will be free if they open their eyes to it.
The song seems to be a commentary on how people may feel oppressed and unheard in their lives, but they seek to gain power in the afterlife. The desire for justice and vengeance is a recurring theme in many of Bobaflex's songs, but this one in particular speaks about violent justice in the afterlife.
