"I've Got A Gun" lyrics

"I've Got A Gun"

I've got a gun but I won't use it if you beg me not to
I've got the strength but won't abuse it if you give me power
I'm gonna be your leader I will be your one decider
I'm gonna make you think you're free then turn you all into my slaves
I'll give you restitution
And take something more important
I'll deport all the immigrants
And tax all that's imported
I'm gonna lie and cheat and steal
And prosecute you for the same
I'm gonna be your absolutist
And you'll shutter at my name

Fear for your own rights
That's how you lose 'em
For when they strip you
You won't get to pick and choose 'em
You want a change
Hope you enjoy it
I wanted freedom
Not someone who would destroy it

He's not a racist
He's just older
He's just from a different time
He's not a criminal
The jury must have already picked their side
He's not a rapist
He just didn't know
That she had drawn the line
He's not a liar
Everybody's got something they want to hide

Fear for your own rights
That's how you lose 'em
For when they strip you
You won't get to pick and choose 'em
You want a change
Hope you enjoy it
I wanted freedom
Not someone who would destroy it

They say you're young and stupid
When you're older you may understand
I'll never comprehend
The type of man who wants to flatten land
Who wants to take the rights of women
Children, people who are trans
Maybe I'm young, maybe you're evil
Maybe blood is on your hands
Maybe one day you'll prosper
Alongside white bigoted men
I hope it happens
I hope you and all of them get to hold hands
And I hope it eats you slowly
Knowing you brought hate onto the earth
And when you die you'll go to hell
And that'll be what you deserve

Fear for your own rights
That's how you lose 'em
For when they strip you
You won't get to pick and choose 'em
You want a change
Hope you enjoy it
I wanted freedom
Not someone who would destroy it
