(Eat lead, you scum sucking…)
Lickin' the gun, yeah, yeah
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Senator husband goin' for broke
Gotta prove I'm not a joke
We smoked the stuff in '69
Now it's different it's a crime
Kids today don't understand
Kids today need a guiding hand
Sticker if it rhymes with truck
When the law suits fly, guess I'll duck
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Watch religion come and go
Watch corruption on their shows
Buy your silence money for blood
Out of the ark and into the flood
Crazy men with Russian guns
My words never killed anyone
Kissing babies lickin' the gun
Ain't political nah, having fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Oh, yeah, yeah…lick it
Yeah, lick it, yeah
Yeah
Lick it
Eat it up lay down and die
They'll shoot you up and they don't know why
They're doing a job and they enjoy it too
They're protecting us from me and you
We smoked the stuff in '69
Now it's different it's a crime
I don't care to wait and see
If I'm cool enough to make history
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun
Oh, yeah, yeah, lick that gun, lick that, lick that, lick thatgun, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, lick that gun, gonna lick it on, lick it on
Lick that gun, yeah, yeah
