You don’t go pointing your guns at
other people
You don’t go pointing your guns at
anyone or anything ¹
Oh, yesterday’s brothers are
the adversaries of today
and every shot will someday,
someday come back
Peoples of the world
arm yourselves
and buy guns
Go to the front line,
protect your freedom
with your new artillery
Fill your powder keg
to the rim,
as full as our armory is, ²
they’ve lost their minds ³
Oh, you don’t go pointing your guns at
other people
You don’t go pointing your guns at
anyone or anything
Oh, yesterday’s brothers are
the adversaries of today
‘cause every shot will someday,
someday come back
Peoples of the world
arm yourselves
to the teeth ⁴
‘cause whoever has the longer barrel
has the upper hand ⁵
we’re dancing on blades and razors,
just before the edge
it’s just a matter of time
before someone goes too far
Oh, you don’t go pointing your guns at
other people
You don’t go pointing your guns at
anyone or anything
Oh, yesterday's brothers are
the adversaries of today
‘cause every shot will someday,
someday come back
(x2)
You don’t go pointing your guns at
other people
You don’t go pointing your guns at
anyone or anything
