Big Red Gun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Brothers in arms who share my fears
Time to protect what you hold dear
There's been a rise in new ideals
Threatening to change the way we live
Who knows what trouble's found a way
Found a way to your door today
Who knows what trouble's on its way
On its way to intimidate
All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I'm gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun
I'm gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
'Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Get outta my sight when baby's got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Baby's got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear
Straight from his lips into my ear
And Lord I just can't walk away
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree
On the target of my insecurities
All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I'm gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun
I'm gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
And how many lives will have to be lost
To understand why my baby's got a big red gun?
Baby's got a big red gun
Baby's got a big red gun
Baby's got a big red gun
Baby's got a big red gun
We call them twisted and deranged
(Baby's got a big red gun)
But we gave them the keys to annihilate
(Baby's got a big red gun)
How long before the next one's in the ground?
(Baby's got a big red gun)
So proud of all your history
(Baby's got a big red gun)
But history made a big mistake
(Baby's got a big red gun)
The judge and jury stand before you now
(Baby's got a big red gun)
'Cause baby's got a big red gun
Baby's got a big red gun
Baby's got a big red gun
Oh momma what have I become?
