This song is directed against second amendment activists and gun rights fanatics particularly within the United States, the NRA, and other gun supporters. It points out their constant fear mongering and increasingly irrational behaviour. It calls attention to the problem using a strong sarcastic ton...
[Verse 1]
Brothers in arms that share my fears
Time to protect what you hold dear
There's been a rise in new ideas
Threatening to change the way we live
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who knows what trouble's found a way?
Found a way to your door today?
Who knows what trouble's on it's way?
On it's way to intimidate?
[Chorus]
All I want is a big red gun
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm gonna shoot shoot shoot at the setting sun
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And all I want is a big red gun
I'm gonna shoot shoot shoot 'till the thrill is gone
[Post-Chorus 1]
Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Stay out of my sight when
Baby's got a big red gun!
(Oh yeah yeah yeah-yeah)
Baby's got a big red gun!
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear
Straight from his lips into my ears
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And Lord I just can't walk away
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree
On the target of my insecurities
[Chorus]
All I want is a big red gun
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm gonna shoot shoot shoot at the setting sun
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And all I want is a big red gun
I'm gonna shoot shoot shoot 'till the thrill is gone
[Post-Chorus 2]
And how many lives will have to be lost
To understand why my
Baby's got a big red gun!
(Baby's got a big red gun)
(Baby's got a big red gun)
(Baby's got a big red gun)
(Baby's got a big red gun)
[Bridge]
We call them twisted and deranged
(Baby's got a big red gun!)
But we gave them the keys to annihilate
(Baby's got a big red gun!)
How long before the next one's in the ground?
(Baby's got a big red gun!)
So proud of all your history
(Baby's got a big red gun!)
But history made a big mistake
(Baby's got a big red gun!)
The judge and jury stand before you now
[Outro]
'Cus baby's got a big red gun!
Baby's got a big red gun!
Baby's got a big red gun!
Oh, momma what have I become?
