Lyrics

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! Ensure my future My niche in history And then the world will see That I am not a man to overlook! Ha-ha! 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 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 state Ment 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 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
