Gun by Todd Rundgren Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I like the noise and I like the smell
And where the lead ends up, what the hell
I've got a gun
So you be the robber and I'll be the cop
Cowboy saloons where someone gets dropped
GI Joe goin' over the top
I don't much care as long as
I pop pop pop my gun
[Chorus]
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
[Verse 2]
The constitution says that I'm so blessed
That I can clean my piece on the Supreme Court steps
My pretty gun
There's many like it, yeah but this one's mine
A good replacement for a lack of spine
When tribulation makes me need to unwind
And pierce the air like I'm in Palestine
Here's my gun
[Chorus]
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
[Post-Chorus]
This is my rifle, this is my gun
This is for fighting and this is for fun
[Bridge]
I hate to gush but I'm your biggest fan
I really love the way you fit my hand
You're with me always like a wedding band
More than a friend to me, my true identity
You're smooth and hard and that's the way you stay
Bright and polished like a Chardonnay
Fully loaded as a New Year's Day
With a round in the chamber
A round in the chamber
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
I've got a gun
I've got a gun
[Outro]
This is my rifle, this is my gun
This is for fighting and this is for fun
I like the noise and I like the smell
And where the lead ends up, what the hell
I've got a gun
So you be the robber and I'll be the cop
Cowboy saloons where someone gets dropped
GI Joe goin' over the top
I don't much care as long as
I pop pop pop my gun
[Chorus]
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
[Verse 2]
The constitution says that I'm so blessed
That I can clean my piece on the Supreme Court steps
My pretty gun
There's many like it, yeah but this one's mine
A good replacement for a lack of spine
When tribulation makes me need to unwind
And pierce the air like I'm in Palestine
Here's my gun
[Chorus]
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
[Post-Chorus]
This is my rifle, this is my gun
This is for fighting and this is for fun
[Bridge]
I hate to gush but I'm your biggest fan
I really love the way you fit my hand
You're with me always like a wedding band
More than a friend to me, my true identity
You're smooth and hard and that's the way you stay
Bright and polished like a Chardonnay
Fully loaded as a New Year's Day
With a round in the chamber
A round in the chamber
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
I've got a gun
I've got a gun
[Outro]
This is my rifle, this is my gun
This is for fighting and this is for fun
