Bruce Cockburn - Lickin The Gun Lyrics

Lickin' The Gun Song Lyrics
Lickin' The Gun by Bruce Cockburn 'eat lead, you scum-sucking...'
'lickin' the gun...yeah'

Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun

Senator husband goin' for broke
Gotta prove I'm not a joke
We smoked the stuff in '69
('mmm, nice...')
Now it's different - it's a crime
Kids today don't understand
Kids today need a guiding hand
Sticker, if it rhymes with 'truck'
When the lawsuits fly, guess I'll duck

(shhah)
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun

Watch religion come and go
Watch corruption on their shows
Buy your silence, money for blood
Out of the ark and into the flood
Crazy men with russian guns
My words never killed anyone
Kissing babies, lickin' the gun
Ain't political, nah - having fun

Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun

Oh, yeah, yeah, lick it
('mmm, nice...')
(yeah)
(shhah)
Lick it
(yeah)
(shhah)
(yeah)
Oooh, h-hey, lick it
(shhah)
(shhah)

Eat it up, lay down and die
They'll shoot you up, and they don't know why
They're doing a job, and they enjoy it, too
They're protecting us from me and you
We smoked the stuff in '69
('just having fun...')
Now it's different - it's a crime
I don't care to wait and see
If I'm cool enough to make history

Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
('lickin' the gun...yeah')
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun

Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun, finger lickin' fun

Oooh, yeah, yeah
('lickin' the gun...yeah')
Lick that gun, lick that, lick that
Lick that gun, yeah
(shhah)
Oooh, yeah, yeah
('lick it...')
Lick that gun
('lick it...')
Gonna lick it, oh, lick it, oh
Lick that gun
(yeah)
