Artist/Band: Dead Milkmen
Lyrics for Song: (Unlisted) If I Had A Gun
Lyrics for Album: Chaos Rules: Live at the Trocadero [1997]



Would I be amused

Would I be impressed

Knowing that I had the power

To put a hole into your chest?

When the kids are crying

After the welfare check's been spent

Would I rob a liquor store

To get some money for the rent?



If I had a gun



Would I start smoking Marlboros?

Would I stop smoking Kents?

Would I gain some new respect?

Would I gain some confidence?

Would I suddenly go crazy

And shoot my family?

And see myself years later

On some crime show on TV



If I had a gun



Would I wear it in my holster?

Would I keep it concealed?

Would I put it on the table

Every time that I'm misdealed?

When I hear a nearby gunshot

When I'm up at night alone

Would I feel a little safer

Here in my urban home?



If I had a gun
