"What If, No Matter?"

What if no matter how angry he was

How outraged he was, how furious he was

What if no matter how angry he was

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?



What if no matter how right he was

How wrong they were, how evil they were

What if no matter how right he was

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?



No rifle, no shotgun, no pistol in sight

No revolvers, automatics, no assault guns tonight

No clips crammed with bullets anywhere to be found

No weapons just laying around



What if no matter how outraged he was

How furious he was, how murderous he was

What if no matter how outraged he was

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?



If he dug through his Chevy, the back seat, the trunk

The attic, the basement, piles of old junk

Came up empty-handed again and again

Tell me, what would he do then?



What if no matter how angry he was

How outraged he was, how furious he was

What if no matter how angry he was

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?

He couldn't lay hands on a gun?
