England is a cup of tea
France, a wheel of ripened brie
Greece, a short, squat olive tree
America is a gun
Brazil is football on the sand
Argentina, Maradona’s hand
Germany, an oom pah band
America is a gun
Holland is a wooden shoe
Hungary, a goulash stew
Australia, a kangaroo
America is a gun
Japan is a thermal spring
Scotland is a highland fling
Oh, better to be anything
Than America as a gun.
This is one of the songs where I didn’t write the words. I saw this poem circling the internet and contacted the writer, Brian Bilston, for permission to make a song from it. He agreed, and so it happened. America really has a problem with its addictions, particularly with weaponry. Nobody needs to hunt with an AR-15. Pistols are only meant to kill one thing, people.
