I Got A Gun Lyrics

You, father, you ever wonder
found out what you are, wishing on a star
Or if my dealt card has numbed the pain you laid

I got a gun
And nothing to say
I'm on the run
And now it's time to pay

You, father, you ever dare
question words of blame
Hen of guilt and shame
Or this world I've drained
Flushing hopes of today

I got a gun
And nothing to say
I'm on the run
Blow yourself away
I gotta gun
And nothing to say
I'm on the run
And now it's time to play

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sounds like the narrator's life was messed up by his father and now that he has a gun, he's going to get his revenge.
