I read a story ‘bout a man
Defend his home with gun in hand
The cops they came and shot the man
Not the burglar, you understand
“Oops” they said, enough for their fans
But I got to thinking about the plan
The plan to get a gun in everyone’s hand
And why there were so few on this land

Nobody shot the men who shot the man
Who shot the burglar with gun in hand
Why’d the shooting stop? I don’t understand
‘Cause not everyone had a gun and a plan

    So I got me a gun
    And now I’m on the run
    oBummer’s coming to take my guns
    Gotta have
    As many as I can
    So I got me a gun

Read a story ‘bout a school
Bunch o’ kids got shot by a fool
‘Cause we let him buy a tool
When he wanted to shoot up a school
Why’s he still alive? I want to know
He had the only guns at the show
While the kids crouched in a row
No gun or even a cross-bow

Nobody shot the man who shot the kids
Who bled on the tile as they hid
Why’d the shooting stop? I don’t understand
’Cause not everyone had a gun and a plan

    So I got me a gun
    And now I’m on the run
    oBummer’s coming to take my guns
    Gotta have
    As many as I can
    So I got me a gun

Read a story ‘bout a shooting
As cars and people were commuting
Nobody was rioting or even looting
As the perp ran around executing
After a dozen, I heard he stopped
Maybe apprehended by the guns of cops
Maybe he ran from the guns he dropped
The whole scene turned out to be a flop

Nobody shot the man who shot the cars
Bullet holes like tiny glass stars
Why’d the shooting stop? I don’t understand
‘Cause not everyone had a gun and a plan

    So I got me a gun
    And now I’m on the run
    oBummer’s coming to take my guns
    Gotta have
    As many as I can
    So I got me a gun
