Lyrics

Eat the Gun

[Verse 1]

Eat the gun, eat the gun

Eat the gun, eat the gun

Join the army, join the army

Eat the gun, eat the gun

[Chorus]

Die in awful pain, die in awful pain

Die in awful pain, die in awful pain

Die in awful pain, die in awful pain

Awful pain

[Verse 2]

Shoot them all, shoot them all

Shoot them all, shoot them all

Cut their heads off, cut their heads off

Shoot them all, shoot them all

[Chorus]

Everything that moves

Everything that moves

Everything that moves

Everything that moves

Everything that moves

Everything that moves

That moves

[Verse 3]

Big and tough, big and tough

Big and tough, big and tough

Not a sissy, not a sissy

Strong and rough, strong and rough

[Outro]

Your gun is so big, your gun is so big

Your gun is so big, your gun is so big

Your gun is so big, your gun is so big
