Lyrics
Did you read the news?
I'm a bit confused
The gun fever is back (The gun fever)
Rudeness and the gun, it's the talk of the town
The gun fever is bad (The gun fever)
Every time you read The Gleaner or Star
Man shot dead all who cannot war
It is the fever, the gun fever
The simplest thing is blam-blam-blam
What is this in our little island?
It is the fever, the gun fever
You can know a rude chap, by the way he sets his cap
The gun fever is back, the gun fever
The rudie talk is seen, Lord, I don't know what it means
The gun fever is back (The gun fever)
Every time you read The Gleaner or Star
Man shot dead all who cannot war
It is the fever, the gun fever
The simplest thing is blam-blam-blam
What is this in our little island?
It is the fever, the gun fever
What we gonna do about Amendment Number 2?
The gun fever is back (The gun fever)
And we think it is obscene you can buy it at fifteen
The gun fever is back (The gun fever)
Everytime you read the New York Times
Seventeen dead in a school gun crime
It's the fever, the gun fever
The simplest thing is ra-ta-ta-ta-tat
NRA how you deal with that?
It's the fever, the gun fever
It's the fever, the gun fever
It's the fever, the gun fever
