John Wesley Harding
Scared of Guns
[Verse 1]
Well, the power of the bullet is fascinating
They're polishing the Luger facsimiles
The little kids grow up imitating
Cowboys shoot Indians before puberty

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get me to the battle on time
'Cause I'd be useless in the front line
And don't point that thing at me

[Chorus]
You know I'm scared of guns
You know I'm scared of guns
You know I'm scared of guns

[Verse 2]
You can argue, say it's harmless
In the nightmare fairground gallery
We're all under pain of death
To keel right over gracefully

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I ached to be a uniform man
And toss that baton in a marching band
But don't point that thing at me
[Chorus]
You know I'm scared of guns
You know I'm scared of guns
You know I'm scared of guns

[Bridge]
I'm scared of guns, they're out of your hands
I'm scared of guns, they might go bang (Alright)
I'm scared of guns, hey Joe, they're out of control
I'm scared of guns, well fear eats the soul
Well don't shoot me

[Verse 3]
Well, I wanna put flowers in the barrels
Like the famous photo, understand
That I'd rather get hit on the head
That hold cold metal in my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
The new arrival, the latest addition
The little boys running out of ammunition
Well, don't point that thing at me

[Chorus]
You know I'm scared of guns
You know I'm scared of guns
Well, you know I'm scared of guns
You know I'm scared of guns (Don't shoot)
[Outro]
Alright
Shotgun
Don't shoot it for me right now
Shotgun
Don't shoot it for me right now
Alright
