The Gun - Lou Reed

The man has a gun, he knows how to use it Nine millimeter Browning, let’s see what he can do He’ll point at your mouth

Says that he’ll blow your brains out

Don’t mess with me, carrying a gun

Carrying a gun, carrying a gun

Don’t you mess with me, carrying a gun

Carrying a gun, carrying a gun

Don’t you mess with me, carrying a gun

Get over there, move slowly

I’ll put a hole in your face, if you even breathe a word

Tell the lady to lie down, I want you to be sure to see this

I wouldn’t want you to miss a second, watch your wife

Carrying a gun, shooting with a gun, dirty animal

Carrying a gun, carrying a gun, watch you face, carrying a gun

Carrying a gun, carrying a gun

The animal dies, with fear in his eyes, with a gun

Don’t touch him, don’t touch him

Stay away from him, he’s got a gun
