Would I be amused

Would you be impressed

That I had the power

To put a hole into your chest

When the kids are crying

And the welfare check's been spent

Would I rob a liquor store

To get some money for the rent

If I had a gun If I had a gun

If I had a gun If I had a gun 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 If I had a gun If I had a gun

If I had a gun If I had a gun

Would I wear it in a holster

Would I keep it concealed 95995,-994)

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 If I had a gun If I had a gun

If I had a gun If I had a gun
