Rubber Bullets Lyrics

Cover art for Rubber Bullets lyrics by 10cc

It's about having a party at the county jail, where this guy spends all of his time, and a fight breaks out, the fight spreads, people are getting hurt all over the place so they send in the national guard to break it up. The narrator is very amused by all this, but not in a stuck-up or sadistic way, he just doesn't seem very bright and enjoys the commotion.

I doubt the narrator isn't very bright, simply because:

Well we don't understand Why you called in the National Guard When Uncle Sam is the one Who belongs in the exercise yard

Seems like he'd be more of an educated guy.
