By the Gun

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (6-19-02)

Take a number, come on down

Walk upon our scacred ground

But there's a price that you must pay

For wanting things to go your way

You need to play our little game

All around the world it's all the same

You don't even need half a brain

Just look through the crosshairs and take aim

We go

Bang bang - shoot em in the head

Bang, bang - make sure he's dead

Bang, bang - your will is done

We're living and dying by the gun

Bang, bang - shots fill the sky

Bang, bang - the bullets fly

Bang, bang - another wars' begun

We're living and dying by the gun

Living and dying by the gun

Living and dying by the gun

Been part of our mythos part of our laws

Take ten paces, turn and draw

Try to be the last one to fall

Survive until another call

It's a great idea, a master plan

Easy way to kill animals and men

Don't even try to understand

Don't even think of a weapons ban

(Repeat chorus)

We need to defend ourselves from theats unseen

Your best friend may be the enemy

Better gun 'em down by all means

Keep the world safe for all the schemes

Burned into our minds since we're small

Pointed finger shootouts, winner takes all

Cowboys and Indians, imaginary wars

Got to settle the final score

Got to settle the final score

Got to settle the final score

Until there are no more...

(Repeat Chorus)

We're living and dying-

By the gun
