Gun Song

Lyrics

It takes a lot of men to make a gun
 Hundreds
 Many men to make a gun
 Men in the mines
 To dig the iron
 Men in the mills
 To forge the steel
 Men at machines
 To turn the barrel
 Mold the trigger
 Shape the wheel
 It takes a lot of men to make a gun
 One gun
 And all you have to do
 Is move your little finger
 Move your little finger and
 You can change the world
 Why should you be blue
 When you've your little finger?
 Prove how just a little finger
 Can
 Change the world (I hate this gun)
 What a wonder is a gun!
 What a versatile invention!
 First of all, when you've a gun
 Everybody pays attention!
 When you think what must be done
 Think of all that it can do
 Remove a scoundrel
 Unite a party
 Preserve the union
 Promote the sales of my book!
 Ensure my future
 My niche in history
 And then the world will see
 That I am not a man to overlook!
 Ha-ha!
 And all you have to do
 Is squeeze your little finger
 Ease your little finger back
 You can change the world
 Whatever else is true
 You trust your little finger
 Just a single little finger
 Can
 Change the world
 I got this really great gun
 Shit, where is it?
 No, it's really great
 Wait!
 Shit, where is it?
 Anyway
 It's just a .38
 But
 It's a gun
 You can make a state
 Ment
 Wrong!
 With a gun
 Even if you fail
 It tells 'em who you are
 Where you stand
 This one was on sale
 It
 No, not the shoe
 Well, actually the shoe was, too
 No, that's not it
 Shit, I had it here
 Got it!
 Yeah! There it is!
 And all you have to do
 Is crook your little finger
 Hook, your little finger 'round
 Shit, I shot it
 You can change the world
 Change the world
 Simply follow through
 And look, your little finger can
 Slow them down
 To a crawl
 Show them all
 Big and small
 It took a little finger
 No time to
 Change the world
 A gun kills many men before it's done
 Hundreds
 Long before you shoot the gun
 Men in the mines
 And in the steel mills
 Men at machines
 Who died for what?
 Something to buy
 A watch, a shoe, a gun
 A "thing" to make the bosses richer!
 But
 A gun claims many men before it's done
 Just one
