Il testo della If i had a gun

Would i be amused
Would you be impressed
That i had the power
To put a hole into your chest?
When the kids are crying
And the welfare check's been spent
Would i rob a liquor store
To get some money for the rent?

If i had a gun

Would i start smoking marlboros?
Would i stop smoking kents?
Would i gain some new respect?
Would i gain some confidence?
Would i suddenly go crazy
And shoot my family?
And see myself years later
On some crime show on tv

If i had a gun

Would i wear it in a holster?
Would i keep it concealed?
Would i put it on the table
Every time that i'm misdealed?
When i hear a nearby gunshot
When i'm up at night alone
Would i feel a little safer
Here in my urban home?
