Happiness is a Warm Gun (2026 Remaster)

[Intro: Daniel Bocking, Dr. Edison Amos, George W. Bush & George W. H. Bush]

John Lennon was shot here at the entrance to the Dakota building

Lennon was shot four times with a .38 calibre gun in what seems to be a totally senseless killing

The Second Amendment gives the right of the people to keep and bear arms

This is a dispute which is going on in America now

We should work diligently to keep this Second Amendment in place

For the individual with responsibility

Let me repeat again, responsibility and boundaries of those

Who are privilеged to be a part of all of thesе twenty-seven amendments

Of the Constitution of the United States of America

Plus the Declaration of Independence

I believe that, uh, people who are gonna commit crimes shouldn't have guns

I guess my reaction is the same as every other father's and every other grandfather

My heart goes out the people, to the victims

Because I don't understand how

Kids can be out in the garage making bombs and

And, uh, and, uh, families be totally unaware that there's this culture going on

And I'm as troubled by it as anybody else and I don't know any answers

[Chorus: Tori Amos]

Happiness is a warm gun

Happiness is a warm gun, mama

Happiness is a warm gun, mama

[Bridge: Tori Amos]

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun, the gun, gun, no, no, no

Mother Superior jump the gun

I said Mother Superior jump the gun, I said I'm gonna, oh, no

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun, no, no, I said I'm

Mother Superior jump the gun, I said I'm gonna

Mother Superior jump the gun, jump the gun

[Verse 1: Tori Amos & Dr. Edison Amos]

She's not a girl who misses much

In these ten Bill of Rights, each one gives the people a special right

She's not a girl who misses much

This second one is a right to bear arms

She's well acquainted with the touch

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Tori Amos]

I'm, I'm down

Keep me down

I need a fix 'cause I'm

I said, I need a fix 'cause I'm

[Verse 3: Tori Amos]

She's not a girl who misses much

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Mama, I-I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Down to the bits that I left uptown

Down to the bits that I left uptown

Down to the bits that I left uptown

I said I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

I need, I need, I need

[Verse 5: Tori Amos]

Mother Superior jump the gun
