Shoot First |
| «The minstrel boy to the war is gone |
| In the ranks of death you’ll find him; |
| His father’s sword he has girded on, |
| And his wild harp swung behind him.» |
| Go get your guns it’s time to play |
| Let’s hurry up don’t waste the day |
| Out in the park we’ll stage a fight |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| You play the one who has to die |
| I’ll shoot the gun and you will cry |
| You will fall down and I will run |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| My daddy has a gun for real |
| I’m gonna have my own someday |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| My daddy told me what to do |
| If anybody bothers you |
| He says the law is on our side |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| You’ve gotta shoot first |
| Shoot first, you’ve gotta shoot first |
| And ask your questions later |
| Shoot first, you’ve gotta shoot first |
| Shoot first |
| You gotta get them before they get you |
| My older brother has his own |
| It’s got a handle made of bone |
| He carries it all over town |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| My daddy gave my mama one |
| Genuine real pearl-handled gun |
| She says she got to have her one |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| Did you see who got shot last night? |
| I stayed up to watch him |
| They rushed him off to surgery |
| Right there on the T.V. |
| Gosh I hope they catch the guy |
| I think they ought to shoot him |
| But if they bring him back alive |
| He’ll be on the T.V. |
| You’ve gotta shoot first |
| Shoot first, you’ve gotta shoot first |
| And ask your questions later |
| Shoot first, you’ve gotta shoot first |
| Shoot first |
| You gotta get them before they get you |
| I’ve got to go it’s getting late |
| I wish I had a real gun |
| Then I would never be afraid |
| Like some guys on T.V. |
| I’d never use my gun on you |
| You’d never have to worry |
| You’d be the good guy on my side |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| I think when I grow up someday |
| I’m gonna join the NRA |
| I saw them telling what they’re for |
| Last night on the T.V. |
| My daddy says it’s not a game |
| We’ve got to play to win it |
| He says I’ll have to learn to fight |
| Just like on the T.V. |
| You’ve gotta shoot first |
| Shoot first, you’ve gotta shoot first |
| And ask your questions later |
| Shoot first, you’ve gotta shoot first |
| Shoot first |
| You gotta get them before they get you |
| «Land of Song,"said the warrior bard, |
| «Tho' all the world betrays thee, |
| One sword at least thy rights shall guard, |
| One faithful harp shall praise thee!» |
