I had heard that Elton John was a member of the NRA. Sounds dubious but who cares?
lyrics
Big Gun Show
Well baby light my fuse
Run fast as you can
Because I burn so hot
I turn glass into sand
Am I ready for the big gun show?
And if you sneak up on me
I might recoil
And my rocks might melt
Babe and start to boil
Am I ready for the big gun show?
Well well well
Shoot shoot shoot go go go
Lock and unload at the big gun show
It’s coming
From the look in your eyes
I can tell you’re a man
Who is constantly ready to take a stand
It’s coming
Well there's a whole lot of people
That don't like each other
I'm afraid of my boss
I'm afraid of my brother
Have you seen my brother
Well he's crazy as hell
And whatcha want me to do
Just sit here and wait
While they all get together
And become irate
If you take away my big gun show
Then I'm SOL
Well well well
Shoot shoot shoot go go go
Lock and unload at the big gun show
It’s coming
When the blue smoke rises
And the dust settles down
My god is gonna make his trumpet sound
It’s coming
And when the man comes around
To take me down
I’m going to make sure a couple
End up in the ground
That’s a saying where I come from
I can hear just beneath the pretty thing you say
You want to steal my money and try and take away
My guns. I ain't that dumb.
Well well well
Shoot shoot shoot go go go
Lock and unload at the big gun show
It’s coming
From the look in your eye
I can tell you’re a man
Who is constantly ready to take a stand
It’s coming
