If I Had A Gun

If I had a gun
I could quickly even up the score
If I had a gun
I'd never need to feel so unsure
But you just stare at me
You could never share with me, and
One by one, I would hunt down all my enemies
From my playground days, to the petrol station just last week
But you just stare at me
You would never care for me
And do you know how it feels
To be less than a boy?
Do you know how it feels
To be less than a girl?

If I had a gun
I could teach the fascists how to cry
If I had a gun
I would blow their guts out and watch them die
But you just stare at me
You could never share with me and
One by onе
I would hunt down all their racist kind
Put a gun against their skinhead brains
And finally blow thеir minds
But you just stare at me
You could never care for me and

Do you know how it feels
To be less than a boy?
Do you know how it feels
To be less than a girl?
To be nothing in this world?

I let your love slip away, through my fingers
I tried the same with my hate, but it still lingers
And every time that I’m up, well they knock me back down
They'd never dare take the chance
If I only, only
If I only had a gun
If I had a gun
