Mighty Mighty Bosstones » Guns And The Young Lyrics

357 magnum.
9mm handgun.
A-K 47 and an UZI sub machine gun.
You see it on TV, you know it looks cool.
All these actors going around killing thousands of people in two or three minutes.
It builds up in your head and you say, "yo, I can do that."
Just stand facing a wall, your enemies are all around you.
You can feel the tension right behind you.
357 magnum.
9mm hangun.
A-K 47 and an UZI sub machine gun.
Everybody's trying to take, take over my spot.
People just trying to take, take what I got.
See if I'm strapped, they can't get to me.
Everybody's afraid of each other, you make enemies so easily.
Just hangin' on the corner you get your chains snatched a couple of times.
People take the shoes off your feet.
You feel like you've got to arm yourself to protect yourself.
What do you do if someone's packin'?
What the hell can one man do?
What do you do if he's crackin'?
Hope he can't shoot straight?
357 magnum.
9mm handgun.
A-K 47 and an UZI sub machine gun.
