One Seventy Five 2009


Three killin things I ever saw
A snake a gun a crooked law
One waits in the pocket one waits in the bush
One lies waitin on the government books


One seventy five one seventy five

a gun will shoot a snake will strike

but a law can twist a country like a knife


gun don’t pay a snake don’t vote
twisted law is made by both
a snake will hiss a gun will smoke
some laws are spinnin wheels on a crooked spoke


don’t tread on me don’t aim for me don’t say it’s not the same for me

don’t tread on me don’t aim for me don’t say it’s not the same for me


A law protects a law defends
But who that is I guess it all depends


One seventy five
