Lyrics
Take This Gun
A little gunplay
and four dead men lay
then the people all say.
How I am the best
Of the deadly contest.
My gun never rests.
After I draw, I think as they fall,
Hey, it's business that's all.
But don't ring church bells
For the losers who fell.
They're all resting in hell.
Seems like nobody can see the good in a man with a gun in his hand.
If I lay there with a dead man's stare, nobody would cry, nobody would care.
Baby maybe, it may take a lady to bring me some hope, bring me sympathy.
And maybe you can see the good in this man and take this gun
From my hand
Lady, maybe you can
Take this, gun from my hand.
It started so young.
A boy and his gun.
Now I live on the run.
With no place to hide
And empty inside.
It's like I've already died.
Don't ever tangle.
I know every angle.
I'm hell's own angel!
Bullets and booze,
I've nothing to lose.
There are so many young fools!
