Jim Page - Get Rid Of That Thing

Come on over here, what you got in your hand
Come on let me see
You could ruin somebody's life
With that thing, maybe me

You go walkin' around feeling like a big shot
'Cause you got one at your waste
Makin' widows and orphans out of mothers
And children all over the place

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Yes it built this country, so what?
So did real estate tycoons
Small pox blankets
And dime novel cartoons

Guns and drums and more guns
Everywhere you look
Get rid of that thing
Put it in a history book

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away

2nd Amendment, my ass
You can't even count that far
I'm tired of gettin't shot
By Ted Nugent's other guitar

You got somethin' to say
Why don't you use your brain?
I know you had one somewhere
Before it went down the drain

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away

So you keep one around the house just in case
And you got it safely put
Til you put it in your pocket all of a sudden
And shoot yourself in the foot

Didn't you know that was gonna happen?
It's not a matter of if
Wherever there's a jump-off
There's bound to be a cliff

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Cops got 'em, and the army's got 'em
The cartels got 'em, the bikers got 'em,
Your Uncle Fred's got 'em
And you got 'em too

For protection from infection
To correct the last election
With an would-be insurrection
Now what're you gonna do

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Outside the VFW Hall
In Santa Cruz, California
They built monument to carnage
As a way to try to warn you

And in the base of that monument
There's more than a hundred useless guns
Melted down and mixed in with the concrete
Now that's the way it's done

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say
Get rid of that thing - throw it away
