lyrics

Got five bullets in my six gun

I've always wanted to visit Russia
See the places of which Tolstoy spoke
But how it's looking now, probably never will
They'd just execute me, bury me up on the hill

Got five bullets in my six gun

I've always wanted to visit Cuba
See the places of which Hemingway spoke
But how it's looking now, I wouldn't make it one day
Lock me up at Gitmo, throw the key away

Got five bullets in my six gun

I've always wanted to visit the USA
See the places of which Einstein spoke
But that's just a bunch of pipe dream jive
Beware the public schools if you wanna get out alive

Got five bullets in my six gun

Got five bullets in my six gun
Against an army of a million
Like one tiny, angry soul
Trying to question the Church

Kinda seems like the world
Has gotten faster and louder
I was praying for a refund
Ended up in a lurch

Got five bullets in my six gun

I've always wanted to visit Russia
See the places of which Tolstoy spoke
I've always wanted to visit Cuba
See the places of which Hemingway spoke

I've always wanted to visit the USA
See the places of which Einstein spoke
But how it's looking now, probably never will
They'd just execute me, bury me up on the hill
