Grand Funk Railroad – Don’t Let ‘Em Take Your Gun


Ohhh, people why don’t you come
in here and let me talk to you
a while.
That’s right, step right up and
listen to a concerned citizen speak
his piece.

I’ll tell you a little something
that my daddy told to me.
My basic fundamentals if you want to be free.
‘Cause son, there’s somthing wrong internally.
So, if you want your freedom son.
Don’t want your country to be overrun.
You got to keep America number one.

(CHORUS)
My daddy told me “Son, don’t
let ’em take your gun.
That’s what they tryin’ to do.
Son, don’t let ’em take your gun.
They’re takin’ your Bill of Rights away from you.”
My daddy said “Son, don’t
let ’em take your gun.
That’s what they tryin’ to do.
Son, don’t let ’em take your gun.
Don’t let ’em take your gun away from you.”

Ohhh, this year is our anniversary.
Two hundred years, people we’ve been free.
Won’t be nobody takin’ over our land.
If everybody’s brother’s got a gun in his hand.
I’m tellin’ you we learned to fight for justice.
We’re willing to die for freedom.
Hand in hand.
You got to understand.
We are American men.

Said they want your gun.
Said they want your gun.
Send ’em on the run.
Send ’em on the run.
Hip-hurray for fun.
Hip-hurray for fun.
If they do we’re done.
If they do we’re done.

    Did you ever have that feeling in your life
    That someone was watching you?
    He don’t have no reason, that’s right
    But still he’s there watching you

    Someone is waiting just outside the door
    To take you away, yeah
    Everybody knows just what he’s there for
    To take you away, yeah

    But, you don’t know why he’s been waiting
    But, you don’t know why he’s been waiting
    Spent too much time anticipating
    Spent too much time anticipating, yeah

    Did you ever think it could be you
    That’s just outside the door?
    There’s just one way to find out if it’s true
    So, what you waiting for?

    Because get yourself together now, my friend
    And step outside the pad
    If there’s no one waiting for you there, my friend
    I think you should be glad

    But, who wasn’t there that you should look out for?
    But, who wasn’t there that you should look out for?
    Get back inside your wall, and shut the door
    Get back inside your wall, and shut the door

    You don’t have nobody, don’t need nobody, can’t love nobody
    You’re better off by yourself
    You ain’t feelin’ too bad, you’re driving me mad and say you’re bad
    You’re better off by yourself

    You don’t have nobody, don’t need nobody, can’t love nobody
    You’re better off by yourself
    You ain’t feelin’ too bad, you’re driving me mad and say you’re bad
    You’re better off by yourself
