Gun

Brother man nowadays living in the ghetto

Where the danger sure enough reek, oh

Well, when he's out late at night

If he's got his head on right

Well, I'll lay you 95, he's walking with steel

Brother man say he's 'fraid of gangsters

Messing with people just for fun

And he don't want to be next

He's got a family to protect

So just last week he bought himself a gun

Everybody got a pistol

Everybody got a .45

And the philosophy seems to be

At least as near as I can see

When other folks give up theirs

I'll give up mine

This is a violent civilization

It's civilization where I am

Every channel that I stop on

Got a different kind of cop on

And killing them by the millions for Uncle Sam

But Saturday night just ain't that special

Yeah, got the constitution on the run

'Cause even though we got the right

To defend our homes, defend our life

Got to understand to get it in hand, about the gun

Everybody got a pistol

Everybody got a .45

And the philosophy seems to be

At least as near as I can see

When other folks give up, give up, give up

I'll give up, I'll give up, see

Saturday night just ain't that special

Freedom to be afraid is all you want

Yes, and you don't want to be next

You've got a family to protect

Nine out of ten you got a friend

You got a gun

Everybody got a pistol

Everybody got a .45

Philosophy seems to be

At least as near as I can see

When other folks give up theirs

I'll give up mine

Everybody got a pistol

This must really please the NRA

Yeah, 'cause when it's time to light 'em

You know damn well they're gonna shine 'em

Everybody, everybody, everybody

Everybody, everybody, la-da-da-da

Everybody got a little, la-da-da-da

Uh-huh, and the philosophy seems to be

At least as near as I can see

When other folks give up theirs

I'll give up mine
