Close to his heart as we’re driving the streets
Nestled and safe as we’re looking for some creeps

He sees someone suspicious, licks his lips so delicious
He pats me once making sure that I am still there
Caressing me a stroking me, his mind unaware

Innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
Protection for the cops or for vigilante’s fun
Innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
A tool for the soldiers proudly glinting in the sun

He pulls up and jumps out and confronts a young man
Who’s really just a boy who says he does not understand

Like a cop on the beat he tells the boy to lay down
But the boy calls him out:
“You’re not a cop, just a freak, just a neighborhood clown”

I’m a gun of innocence a gun of innocence
Time to pull me out when the situation’s tense
I’m a gun of innocence a gun of innocence
I’ve only got one job I’m not here to make friends

The boy turns to leave, but my man wont have it so
Push comes to shove and they start to trade blows

He grabs the kid from behind and tries to knock him around
But the kid fights back and knocks my man to the ground

Now my man is afraid as fear fuels this young lad
He finally pulls me out his eyes crazy and mad

BANG!!!

I’m an innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
Protection for the home or for gangbangers fun
I’m an innocent, just an innocent gun
I’m here to enforce the law and not to be shunned

I’m a gun of innocence, a gun of innocence
Time to pull me out when the situation’s tense
I’m a gun of innocence, a gun of innocence
Always keep me ready and don’t take no chance

SOLOS

Blood is streaming from a wound that can’t be contained
My man calls it in his voice frightened and strained
“I stood my ground in the park! This man jumped all over me!”
Turns out he’s a kid, who just had candy and tea

I’m an innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
A tool for the cops or just a prize to be won
I’m an innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
To save a life I take a life, I’m not here to stun

A decade later things never seem to change
The cops, the criminals, citizens they all seem deranged
But not me, that’s for sure, I know I’m here to stay
I’m in the bill of rights protected by the NRA. HEY!

I’m an innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
A tool for cops and soldiers or for gangbangers fun
I’m an innocent gun, I’m an innocent gun
I’ll protect your home or rob a store, to decide, you’re the one

I’m a gun of innocence, a gun of innocence
Time to pull me out when the situation’s tense
I’m a gun of innocence, a gun of innocence
To try to live without me doesn’t make much sense
I said to try to live without me doesn’t make much sense, UGHN!
