Locks and Guns

Just Being Realistic
These days you can’t be too safe
Make believe you’re in danger
And get your contingencies made
To Protect our persons
To defend our rights
For me and my possessions
And my Peace of Mind at Night
Locks and Guns for the People
An antidote for their fear
Locks and Guns against evil
Believing the hate that you hear,
Locks and Guns
Everyone was tuned in
To the Bleeding Lead of the News
And of the innocence slaughtered
At least it wasn’t me or you
Double Dead-bolt Logic, lock them out
While you lock yourself in
The gun waits for you to cock it, Maybe
place it under your own chin
Locks and Guns for the Children
A rite of passage unsupervised
Locks and Guns for the Millions
Shot or be shot, live or die
Locks and Guns
Locks and Guns
You’re sure they’re comin’ to get you
It’s just a matter of time
They’re desperate, cold and hungry
Likely violent and out of their minds
Most certainly not like us
One can easily tell.
A steel gray nine show no rust
The street chalk shows where they fell
Locks and Guns if we plan good, we’ll have
A Vigilante Nation on call
Locks and guns for our manhood
Locks and Guns for all
