UNDER THE GUN

a.k.a. RICH PUNK

Version 3

Sometimes I see her at the end of the programming day
And I feel something sucking my life away
I want to go downtown Billy and just buy me a gun
But you take what your given when your living Billy under the gun

???
I see her on the street and I don't give a damn
I tell you what you need ???
But you take what your given when your living Billy under the gun

I see her on the street and the people give a helping hand
But the real truth is that I don't give a damn
???
But you take what your given when your living Billy under the gun

Give a ??? now babe
You take what your given and Billy you don't run, you don't run
???
??? I ain't that kind of man
You give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
You give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
Won't run, Mister I won't run
You give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
???
I ain't that kind of man
You give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
You give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
I ain't that kind of man
You give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
Won't run
???
Just give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
Give me a livin' and Mister I won't run
And Mister I won't run
Mister I won't run
Won't run
Mister I won't run
Mister I won't run
Mister I won't run
Won't run
Won't run

Thematically similar to JACKSON CAGE, it is the tale of how the pressures of modern living can suck away the goodness in the world, and the love between a man and a woman.
