Gun Lyrics
But we want someone like you
We could get somebody else
But we want someone like you
We could get somebody else
But we want someone like you
We could get somebody else
But we want someone like you
We could get somebody else
But we want someone like you
We could get somebody else
But we want someone like you)
Well, as soon as I get my gun
I'll point it out the window at the setting sun
As soon as I get my gun
I'll tell you all about it when you fall in love
As soon as I get my gun
I'm gonna make a call
Well, as soon as I get my gun
Get my gun
They make it like we give 'em out to anyone
As soon as we get your gun
A heckle for a pistol is a lot of fun
It's just the kind of place we run
Because the government
Because the government wants your gun
Wants your gun
Woah
Then let's go
Can I bleed enough to fill up what the engine takes?
I don't know
But if you're watching up above
They're teaching me to kill
Who's teaching me to love?
Now baby
Isn't it crazy?
(As soon as I get my gun)
They'll put me on vacation underneath the sun
As soon as I get my gun
(As soon as I get my gun)
I'll holler and flash it at my belting blood
Out on the sand
We’re like a hold from an IED
'Cause I'm holding up my gun
Holding up my gun
Yeah
Then let's go
Can I bleed enough to fill up what the engine takes?
I don't know
And if you're watching up above
They're teaching me to kill
Who's teaching me to love?
Now baby
Oh, isn't it crazy?
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
I'm never gonna have a S - O - N (but we want someone like you)
(Don't even have a gun)
(We could get somebody else)
And now I'm never gonna have a S - O - N (but we want someone like you)
(Don't even have a gun)
Then let's go
Can I bleed enough to fill up what the engine takes?
I don't know
And if you're watching, up above
They're teaching me to kill
Who's teaching me to love?
Now baby
Oh, isn't it crazy?
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
As soon as I get my gun
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
(Don't even have a gun)
As soon as I get my gun

This song sounds like an attack on the war in Iraq.
"Well, if I’m old enough to die for your mistakes" (refers to the minimum age required for military service)
"Can we bleed enough to fill up what the engine takes?" (refers to how the Iraq war is driven by the greed for oil)
"Well as soon as I've got my gun (refers to the end of military training/deployment) Put me on vacation underneath the sun" ( refers to the scorching heat of Iraq)
"We’re like a hold from a IED" (Improvised Explosive Devices are the weapon of choice for insurgents)
So, Kevin, how much oil did we get from Iraq since the war begain? How much is coming our way in the future? Please take down the DNC posters from your bedroom wall. Geesh. NO CLUE what the song is about, but at least I'm not spreading either misinformation or propaganda.

I think Kevin's got it spot on. Could be Iraq,Afghanistan.Libya...take your pick. The song is pretty self explanatory. Then again Geestrips could be right and its about his/her dreams...ie. mens cocks!!!

Yea, Kevin's got it. Regardless of which specific war is being discussed, it should be obvious: "The uniform isn't fun"; "I'll be standing out in the S-U-N. ... I'm never gonna have an S-O-N"; all the "Cant bleed enough to fill up what the engine takes"; the bit about sand and IEDs. What else could it describe?

You'd have to be blind not to see it. Lucky for us, the blind are not in short supply on songmeanings!

the song is about GUNS..period, no metaphor.

I think this song is satire, from the perspective of a teenager who's been brought up on sketchy morals.
'A pistol is a lot of fun It’s just the kind of place we run Because the government Because the government wants your gun Wants your gun Whoa'
Speaks about the Government taking away gun rights in the US.
'Well, if I’m old enough to die for your mistakes Let’s go'
I think this is an important line, it's saying 'Your mistakes in raising me made me obsessed to guns and murder, and it's going to kill me.'
'They’re teaching me to kill Who’s teaching me to love?'
Another important line, saying 'I'm being taught how to kill, but nobody teaching me how to love.'
It makes sense if you listen it over a few times.

I belive the song is about male strippers . The gun is a metaphor for penis .

omgf how do i air

Why then, does the government want their penis? It is clearly talking about a real gun, not a phallic symbol at all. Have you even listened to/read the lyrics?!
