The Gun Song
Lyricist:Stephen Sondheim, Michael Starobin
It takes a lot of men to make a gun Hundreds Many men to make a gun
Men in the mines To dig the iron Men in the mills To forge the steel
Men at machines To turn the barrel Mold the trigger Shape the wheel
It 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, h
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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 'em 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
Simply follow through And look, your little finger Can slow them down To a crawl Show them all
Big and small It took a little finger No time To 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
