Shotgun lyrics

When your madman's raised to king

And your starving babies scream

One world, one king you think is your god

And freedoms dead and long gone

A slave in chains don't never change his song

Grab a torch, a pitchfork and get your guns

You gave them hope and you tied the rope

Dead man's bones don't lie

Shot a beast and I licked my teeth

Tonight, hail to the king a shotgun

Tonight, got a rock and roll gun

(Tonight, lock and loading my gun)

Shoot if they stand

Shoot if they run

And pray that lightning strikes 'em

Tonight, it's alright

Hail to the king a shotgun

Abd you cheered y'alls clown to king

Till your tongue's too numb to scream

Ooh, the promise of tomorrow is long gone

And the whip keeps pounding down now

From the head that wears the crown

The plantations cotton's rotten so long

You swore an oath and you lied the most

Your villain king don't cry

Choose a gun now or lose your sons

And you might pray to the fool you are

Villain kings don't cry

Save your women and save yourselves

This ain't no time to cry, tonight

And you might play to the fool you are

Run for your lives

Choose a gun now or lose your son, mama
