When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun

It concentrates the mind completely

And suddenly you'll find

A love for human kind

That makes you look upon the world more sweetly

When all at once it seems your life is done

You recognize it all goes by so fleetly

There's so much left to do

Except of course for you

When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun

When you're lookin' down the barrel of a gun

And the barrel looks right back at you demurely

With an eye that seems to say

Perhaps you ought to pray

So sorry that you're dyin' prematurely

You're grateful that you've had your share of fun

Though you suppose you might have lived your life more purely

It's ludicrous to care

It's neither here nor there

When you're starin' down the barrel of a gun

Oh Lord is this really your intention

Aren't men like me in short supply

Oh Lord I could use your intervention

This cannot be the way I'm meant to die

Do you really want to see me cryin'

Get up at once you're making a spectacle of yourself

Eugenia put down the gun please I know

I talk about game bravery and courage

God save the queen and all that

But I I really don't want to die I really really don't

Don't you know I've loved you like a son

And I do not mean to say this impolitely

Consider then the view

I'd rather he'd presume

Looking down the barrel of a gun

Looking down the barrel of a

Uhhhh

Oh for heaven's sake get up you old goat Adalbert Adalbert

Adalbert

What
