If you had something that mattered,
Your brains would not be splattered;
Your life would not be done.
With a shot to deliver,
You could keep your heart and liver,
If you'd only had a gun!

All your parts would be within you;
You'd still be a virgin, too;
Your body whole and one.
You could snap off a bullet;
You'd have kept your throat and gullet
If you'd only had a gun!

Oh, I can tell you why
You're one huge bloody spot:
It's because he had a gun and you did not;
It's something you should have got.

You would not be in such trouble
For relying on gubble-
-ment up in Washington.
Do laws now protect you?
Your whole state is derelict, too.
What you could still have--
If you'd only had a gun!
