(Due To) Gun Control
(Willy DeVille)

My daddy he once told me
Don't think you can be a man
With just a bullet in your gun
And a pistol in your hand

Guns are now outlawed
And only outlaws have guns
And you can't walk the streets
Feeling safe anymore

Only thieves on parole
And the cops out on patrol
Walk the streets feeling safe
Ain't it strange hit the floor
Due to gun control

In this land of milk and honey
We tried so hard to make our own
You've got your freedom of choice
Living clean or living wrong

The power of persuasion
Like your loved one's broken bones
And if not your wife and child
You lose everything you own

Only thieves on parole
And the cops out on patrol
Walk the streets feeling safe
Ain't it strange
Due to gun control

Let me see ya dance
Let me see ya dance
Let me see ya dance partner dance
Ain't it strange out of range
Due to gun control

In this great country of ours
Yes we have finally grown
Built with sweat and muscle
And tape recorded telephones

Only thieves on parole
And the cops out on patrol
Walk the streets feeling safe
Ain't it strange
Due to gun control

Let me see ya dance
Let me see ya dance
Let me see ya dance partner dance
Ain't it strange hit the floor
Due to gun control
