Gun Song

It takes a lot of men to make a gun
 Hundreds
 Many men to make a gun
 Men in the mines to take the iron
 Men at the mills to forge the steel
 Men at machines to turn the barrel
 Mold the trigger
 Shape the wheel
 I takes a lot of men to make a gun
 One gun
 And all you have to do is move your little finger
 Move your little finger and
 You can change the world
 Why should you be blue
 When you've your little finger?
 Prove how just a little finger
 Can change the world (I hate this gun!)
 What a wonder is a gun
 What a versatile invention
 First of all when you've a gun
 Everybody pays attention
 When you think what must be done
 Think of all that it can do
 Remove a scoundrel
 Unite a party
 Preserve the Union
 Promote the sales of my book
 Insure my future
 My niche in history
 And then the world will see
 That I am not a man to overlook, ha ha
 And all you have to do is squeeze your little finger
 Ease your little finger back
 You can change the world
 Whatever else is true
 You trust your little finger
 Just a single little finger can change the world (change the world)
 I got this really great gun
 Shit, where is it?
 No, it's really great- wait
 Shit, where is it?
 Anyway, it's just a .38
 But it's a gun
 You can make a statement- wrong
 With a gun
 Even if you fail
 It tells them who you are
 Where you stand
 This one was on sale, it
 No, not the shoe
 Well, actually, the shoe was too
 No, that's not it
 Shit, I had it here
 Got it
 Yeah! There it is
 And all you have to do is crook your little finger
 Hook your little finger 'round
 Shit, I shot it
 You can change the world (change the world)
 Simply follow through
 And look, your little finger can
 Slow them down (hmm)
 To a crawl (mm)
 Show them all (mm)
 Big and small (mm)
 It took a little finger no time to
 Hmm-mm change the world
 ♪
 A gun kills many men before it's done
 Hundreds
 Long before you shoot the gun
 Men in the mines
 And in the steel mills
 Men at machines who died
 For what?
 Something to buy
 A watch, a shoe, a gun
 A thing to make the bosses richer
 But a gun claims many men before it's done
 Just one more
