Gun Song Lyrics
[CZOLGOSZ]
It takes a lot of men to make a gun,
Hundreds,
Many men to make a gun:
Men in the mines
To dig the uron,
Men in the mills
To forge the steel,
Men at machines
To turn the barrel,
Mold the trigger,
Shape the wheel-
It takes a lot of men to make a gun...
One gun...
[BOOTH]
And all you have to do
Is move you little finger,
Move your little finger and-
You can change the world.
Why should you be blue
When You've you little finger?
Prove how just a little finger
Can change the world.
[CZOLGOSZ]
I hate this gun...
[GUITEAU]
What a wonder is a gun!
What a versatile invention!
First of all, when you've a gun-
Everybody pays attention.
When you think what must be done,
Think of all that it can do:
Remove a scoundrel,
Unite a party,
Oreserve the Union,
Promote the sales of my book,
Insure my future,
My niche in history,
And then the world will see
That I am not a man to overlook!
Ha-ha!
[GUITEAU,BOOTH,CZOLGOSZ]
And all you have to do
Is squeeze your little finger.
Ease your little finger back-
You can change the world.
Whatever else is true,
You trust your little finger.
Just a single little finger
Can change the world.
[MOORE]
I got this really great gun-
Shit, where is it?
No, it's really great-
Wait-
Shit, where is it?
Anyway
It's just a .38-
But-
It's a gun.
You can make a statement-
Wrong-
With a gun-
Even if you fail.
It telss 'em who you are
Where you stand.
This one was on sale.
It- no not the shoe-
Well, a
