lyrics

500 Guns

Well, I almost killed a man the other day
I caught him trying to break into my apartment
Turned out to be my landlord with something about the health department
"Well, I'm tired of this shit," I said
"You fuckers are always out for blood
I think I'll call me a little rent action"
But he just smiled at me and he said,
"Go right ahead, son, 'cause I own the Sheriff
and he'll be here with a gun to put you out on the street"
But was I scared? No, not at all
REFRAIN: Five hundred guns could not convince me, make me change or go away
Five hundred guns could not dissuade me from the way I feel today
Well, sure enough, on the very next day I went down to answer my door,
and there was the Sheriff and he had a pistol pointed straight at my heart,
and he had two deputies with him and they had rifles pointed at me,
and out in the street there were National Guardsmen with bazookas
and an M-1 tank and an F-111 Skyhawk and a naval destroyer
and it looked just like World War Three
But was I scared? No, not at all
REFRAIN [2X]
