Some Body


Somebody done away with my gun.
Somebody done away with my fun.
Somebody, anybody, anyone at all,
Has anybody seen where I put my gun?


Bang! Bang! you're dead, is the game we would play.
When we were just kids that's what we would say.
Now we are grown-ups I think it's call war,
And counting the bodies is how we keep score.


Bang! Bang! there's blood on the sun,
Bang! Bang! There's two now there's one,
Bang! Bang! Well isn't this fun?
Has anybody seen where I put my gun?


First came the men, yeah, we lined by the wall,
We pulled the trigger and watched them all fall,
Then came the women yeah, it was their turn,
A little napalm and we watched them all burn. 


Bang! Bang! There's blood on the sun.
Bang! Bang! There's two now there's one.
Bang! Bang! Well isn't this fun?
Has anybody seen where I put my gun?


I am a warrior the last of my kind.
I'm hell bent on killing I hope you don't mind.
Here come the children, all out to play.
We nuked them all, well, what can I say?


Bang! Bang! There's blood on the sun.
Bang! Bang! There's two now there's one.
Bang! Bang! Well isn't this fun?
Has anybody seen where I put my gun?


Bang! Bang! Whatcha doin' today?
Bang! Bang! Can you come out to play?
Bang! Bang! Is what we would say,
When we were just kids,
That's the game we would play.
