lyrics
Bang Goes The Gun
(©2021 Anders/O’Bitz)
A loaded gun
And some doe stood still in light
How calm she could be
Unknowing
Her plight
Bang goes
Goes the gun
The doe rests in peace
Bang keeps
What kind of law
What kind of deafening peace
Is there a gun
Or just some metaphors on fire
How fired up she could be
Still unknowing
What’s denied her
Bang goes
Goes the gun
The doe rests in peace
Bang keeps
What kind of law
What kind of deafening peace
Mmm
So hard to let go
The master’s gun
Kills for peace
What destiny
Load it up
Aim it so
Bang goes
Goes the gun
The doe rests in peace
Bang keeps
What kind of law
What kind of deafening peace
Bang goes
Goes the gun
The doe rests in peace
Bang keeps
What kind of law
What kind of deafening peace

The master’s gun
Kills for peace
What destiny
Load it up
Aim it so
Bang goes
Goes the gun
The doe rests in peace
Bang keeps
What kind of law
What kind of deafening peace
Bang goes
Goes the gun
The doe rests in peace
Bang keeps
What kind of law
What kind of deafening peace
