The Gun Song

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 you little finger
Move your little finger and
You can change the world.

Why should you be blue
When you've you 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
Insure my future
My niche in history
And then the world will see
That I am not a man to overlook!
Haha!

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 statement
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.

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
More.
