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 make you feel so unsure

But you'd 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 metro station just last week

But you'd just stare at me
You could never care for me
And, do you know how it feels to be less than a boy?
And, do you know how it feels to be less than a girl?

If I had a gun
I could reach the fascist tattoo pride
If I had a gun
I'd blow that gun south and watch them die

But you'd just stare at me
You could never share with me and
One by one, I would hunt down all their racist kind
Put a gun against their skin and brains
And finally blow their mind

But you'd just stare at me
You could never care for me
And, do you know how it feels to be less than a boy?
And, 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 you 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
