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
