Get Rid Of That Thing Lyrics

Come on over here, what you got in your hand

Come on let me see

You could ruin somebody's life

With that thing, maybe me

You go walkin' around feeling like a big shot

'Cause you got one at your waste

Makin' widows and orphans out of mothers

And children all over the place

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Yes it built this country, so what?

So did real estate tycoons

Small pox blankets

And dime novel cartoons

Guns and drums and more guns

Everywhere you look

Get rid of that thing

Put it in a history book

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away

2nd Amendment, my ass

You can't even count that far

I'm tired of gettin't shot

By Ted Nugent's other guitar

You got somethin' to say

Why don't you use your brain?

I know you had one somewhere

Before it went down the drain

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away

So you keep one around the house just in case

And you got it safely put

Til you put it in your pocket all of a sudden

And shoot yourself in the foot

Didn't you know that was gonna happen?

It's not a matter of if

Wherever there's a jump-off

There's bound to be a cliff

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Cops got 'em, and the army's got 'em

The cartels got 'em, the bikers got 'em,

Your Uncle Fred's got 'em

And you got 'em too

For protection from infection

To correct the last election

With an would-be insurrection

Now what're you gonna do

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Outside the VFW Hall

In Santa Cruz, California

They built monument to carnage

As a way to try to warn you

And in the base of that monument

There's more than a hundred useless guns

Melted down and mixed in with the concrete

Now that's the way it's done

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away

Get rid of that thing - hear what I say

Get rid of that thing - throw it away
