"I got a gun to save myself,
From those with the power and those with the wealth.
Without my gun, Mr President,
Who's going to protect me from the government?

I got a gun.
I got a gun.
I got a gun,
Better get yourself one,
Before the black
Helicopters come.

Without my gun to cover your back,
Who's going to keep Deep State in check?
When all the gun owners are doing time,
Who's gonna protect you from violent crime?

Soon they'll be coming for everyone,
But it won't be so easy if you got a gun.
When they finally arrive to murder me,
I'm gonna die gun in hand and free!

I got a gun.
I got a gun.
I got a gun,
Better get yourself one,
Before the black helicopters come.

With my gun I can beat the odds,
Defeat the elite and cheat the gods,
And keep the criminal class at bay,
And do the things I do in my own way.

I got a gun.
I got a gun.
I got a gun,
Better get yourself one,
Before the Super Galaxies
And the coffins come.

With all the gun owners in Guantanamo Bay,
Who's gonna protect you from the CIA?
When I get a visit from the powers-that-be,
At least I'll take some of them with me.

We all need protection from the men at the top!
The billionaire banker and the Thought Cop!
You'll get to live and love and fight, at least one more day,
As long as you don't give your guns away!

I got a gun!
I got a gun!
I got a gun,
Better get yourself one,
Before the Men in Black,
And the ATF come!"
