Lyrics
If I Had a 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.
Would I Be Amused
Would You Be Impressed
Knowing That I Had the Power
To Put a Hole Into Your Chest?
When the Kids Are Crying
After the Welfare Check's Been Spent
Would I Rob a Licquor Store
To Get Money For the Rent?
If I Had a Gun...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
Everytime 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?
