Lyrics
(Verse1)
Open my eyes this mornin'; I turn on the local news.
A man was shot in his head! Local ten o' clock news blues.
(Bridge)
How could I be confused? What's really goin' on?
Days are not promised to me or you, life goes on!
Why no one else can see, how dangerous it could be?
With a piece of steel attached to me!...Handgun!
(Chorus)
Handgun!..A man got put down today.
Handgun!,, Bullet has gone astray.
Handgun!..A situation gone bad.
A bullet ain't got no name on it !
..But someone took the pain for it!...Handgun!
(Verse2)
Streets ain't safe anymore, pick anyone you choose.
At your local K-mart, got the money ? You can't lose.
They say you need to licensed by law,..But thats just bunch a bull!
Pick one up anywhere, just load push and pull!...Like a nine!
(Bridge)
Like havin' gun slinger law; It just won't do at all.
Lock and load is easy to do until another one falls!
Spin the cylinder like dice in the hand!
Russian roulet is just a guessing game.
Tomorrows classified fame; Take another man!...Hangun!
(Chorus)
Handgun!..A man got put down today.
Handgun!,, Bullet has gone astray.
Handgun!..A situation gone bad.
A bullet ain't got no name on it !
..But someone took the pain for it!...Handgun!
(Chorus out!)
Handgun!..Handgun, Handgun!
Handgun!..Handgun, Handgun!
