Like A Gun

There's a law that binds me but its just an excuse
There are forces that unwind me I was troubled in my youth
Some say that my rebellion is a struggle for the truth
I'm like a gun

I've got a real hair-trigger thats why I shave my head
How much do you figure you'd be worth if you were dead
My words are ammunition and my thoughts are full of lead
I'm like a gun

They say that I'm a menace to society
And a danger to myself
But I've got a flannel suit of armour to protect me night and day
One tattoo says Mother and the other N.R.A.

My barrel's fully loaded my hammer's fully cocked
The last time I exploded somebody's world was rocked
It looks like I'm on safety when I go off you'll be shocked
I'm like a gun
And I go Bang

It really is quite simple Its really not complex
The first thing that I do will be the last thing you expect
And if you want to piss me off just call me Generation X
I'm like gun
