Poor old Mr Willard got shot in the head
He didn't have the sense to stay home in bed
And later Mrs Willard got a dagger in her back
she went out shopping and she never came back

To go out there all alone you have to be brave these days

The world is going crazy the city's going wild
Better think about yourself if you wanna survive
Back in the good old days when people were proud
God guns and guts kept us alive

To go out there all alone you have to be brave these days

I need it and I mean it I can feel it
It's so cold
I can feel it and I mean it
It's so cold without a gun

If I had a weapon just like in my dreams
Then I would be out there cleaning up the streets
I would be a hero a well known face
Getting rid of lowlife for inner peace and mental health

Didn't I tell you you have to be brave these days

I need it and I mean it I can feel it it's so cold
I can feel it and I mean it
It's so cold without a gun...

I'm not a hippie I wanna be safe
Love and understanding is out of date
I got myself a weapon I got myself a gun
It keeps my mind in shape and it gives me lots of fun

Didn't I tell you you have to be brave these days I need it...
