Gun Down.
What is the point of a gun?
What possible good can it do?
All that they ever have done,
Is blow holes in people like you.
Of course it can be great fun,
To shoot up a tin can or two;
But of all the things under the sun,
A gun’s uses are terribly few.
They don’t double up well as a spoon,
Or help you to pull on your boots;
Not many will turn out a tune,
As all a gun does well is shoots!
While you cradle the butt in your palm,
It would be a good moment to figure,
If it's you who might suffer the harm,
After you've pulled on the trigger.
So put down your gun for a mo,
And take your hand out of your glove;
Straighten yourself up and go,
And look for somebody to love!
