Handgun

Now there's a place I know, and I sometimes love
where they're born in the shadow of a rifle club
Hearts of gold, but they're in some doubt
when it's time to get the handgun out
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
Get the handgun out!
Now a stranger can see instantly
all the strains in this society
Not a melting pot, it's a centrifuge
where the quick, and the dead
are both equal losers!
Get all your trucks, collect them free
Drive to the ocean, throw them in the sea!
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
Get the handgun out!
Now there's a place I know, and I sometimes love
Time to get the handgun out
Born in the shadow of a rifle club
Time to get the handgun out
Hearts of gold, but they're in some doubt
When it's time to get the handgun out
Get all your trucks, collect them free
Drive to the ocean, throw them in the sea!
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
Get the handgun out!
Hearts of gold, but they're down on love
Born in the shadow of a rifle club
Hearts of gold, but they're in some doubt
When it's time to get the handgun out
Time to get, get the handgun
Time to get the handgun out
Now it's time to get, good God, good gosh
Get the handgun out!
