Shotgun |
| When your madman’s raised to king |
| And your starving babies scream |
| One world, one king you think is your god |
| And freedom’s dead and long gone |
| A slave in chains don’t never change his song |
| Grab a torch, a pitchfork and get your guns |
| You gave 'em hope and you tied the rope |
| Dead man’s bones don’t lie |
| Shot a beast and I licked my teeth |
| Tonight, hail the king a shotgun |
| Tonight, got a rock and roll gun |
| Shoot if they stand |
| Shoot if they run |
| And pray lightning strikes 'em |
| Tonight, it’s alright |
| Hail to the king a shotgun |
| And you cheered y’all’s clown to king |
| Till your tongue’s too numb to scream |
| The promise of tomorrow is long gone |
| And the whip keeps pounding down now |
| From the head that wears the crown |
| The plantations cotton’s rotten so long |
| You swore an oath and you lied the most |
| Your villain king don’t cry |
| Choose a gun now or lose your sons |
| Tonight, hail the king a shotgun |
| Tonight, got a rock and roll gun |
| Shoot if they stand |
| Shoot if they run |
| And pray lightning strikes 'em |
| Tonight, it’s alright |
| Hail to the king a shotgun |
| And you might pray to the fool you are |
| Villain kings don’t cry |
| Save your women and save yourself |
| This ain’t no time to cry, tonight |
| And you might play to the fool you are |
| Run for your lives |
| Choose a gun now or lose your son, mama |
| Tonight, hail the king a shotgun |
| Tonight, lock and loading my gun |
| Shoot if they stand |
| Shoot if they run |
| And pray lightning strikes 'em |
| Tonight, it’s alright |
| Hail to the king a shotgun |
