If I Had a Gun Lyrics

Artist: The Dead Milkmen
Album: Soul Rotation

Would I be amused
Would you be impressed
That I had the power
To put a hole into your chest?
When the kids are crying
And the welfare check's been spent
Would I rob a liquor store
To get some money for the rent?

If I had a gun

Would I start smoking Marlboros?
Would I stop smoking Kents?
Would I gain some new respect?
Would I gain some confidence?
Would I suddenly go crazy
And shoot my family?
And see myself years later
On some crime show on TV

If I had a gun

Would I wear it in a holster?
Would I keep it concealed?
Would I put it on the table
Every time that I'm misdealed?
When I hear a nearby gunshot
When I'm up at night alone
Would I feel a little safer
Here in my urban home?

If I had a gun

This Song speaks to the heart of the currant debate - straight into the shivering psycho psyche of every alarmist who thinks we are all out to get em (because we really are, right gang!... you know the plan... oh crap they might read this! shhh) nothing to see here, just some swell lyrics ;j
