v.1.
Suppose you’re living in the country, and you want to eat
a rabbit or two.
You’ve prob’ly got a rifle inside your door,
Or a fox will kill your chickens or a dozen reasons more.
I can tell it’s a sensible person I’m talking too!
With all those thieves on the run
You say you’ve got to have a gun . . . to help you. |

That’s
the situation.That’s what you say.
That’s the situation. |
v.2.
Or
s’pose you’re living in the city, you see a violent
mob in every queue.
You live your life through television, self destructive for sure,
You’ve got a pistol in the glovebox and four or five more,
You don’t feel safe without a minder in your right top drawer.
You know it’s just not a credible point of view!
You see those thieves on the run,
So you say you need a gun . . . to save you. |

That’s
the situation, you know one when you see
That’s the situation (whisper) Thief! |

v.3.
Or s’pose you’re living in reality,
you know Love is all we need to get through.
You take the lead in a movement that’s anti
war.
Raise a child. I hope that men can do it more and
more.
And though you’re wealthy you still regularly
help the poor,
There must be something the matter with you!
With all you peace lovers hitting the ground.
I guess I won’t need a gun around . . . to help you. |

Don’t
need a gun to help you. You can have my arms.
Don’t need a gun to help you. You can have
my love.
Don’t need a gun to help you. You can have
me!
Don’t need a gun, no no no (x3)
Don’t need a gun! (single
shot at end) |
