Johnny's Got A Gun Lyrics - Dead Moon

You've crushed the resistence before it's begun 

Silenced the voices who've dared to confront 

Laying your hands upon all that you rule 

Becoming the man who you overtrew 

Now you better watch out 

'cause johnny's got a gun 

You've got all the armies, you've got all the arms 

You've got all the armories 

The harbor's blockaded, the streets barricaded 

Every thought is under lock and key 

There's an idea rising that you can't detect 

From the same poor souls you claim to protect 

There's a violent burning hatred in every mothers son 

You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun 

You've anchored your warships, cleared all the airstrips 

Readied the seeds to decay 

Stolen the youth to fill ranks in your troops 

Keeping rebellion at bay 

The fathers before you who now line the graves 

Are being remembered before it's too late 

And their sons you call rebels are coming one 

You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun 

The hour's upon you, the past will soon haunt you 

Yesterday becomes today 

The helpless, the hopeless, the lost ones, the homeless 

The weak can afford to be brave 

There's only much a poor man can take 

Before he no longer fears making mistakes 

If dying's the answer, then dying be done 

You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun
