Brother Man nowadays living in the ghetto nWhere the danger's sure enough real nWell when he's out late at night nAnd if he's got his head on right nWell, I lay you 9 to 5 he's walking with steal. nnBrother Man says he's 'fraid of gangsters nMessing with people just for fun nHe don't want to be next nHe got a family to protect nSo just last week he bought himself a gun. nn[Chorus]nEverybody got a pistol, everybody got a 45 nAnd the philosophy seem to be nAt least as near as I can see nWhen other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine. nnThis is a violent civilization nIf civilization's where I am nEvery channel that I stop on nGot a different kind of cop on nKilling them by the million for Uncle Sam nnSaturday night just ain't that special nYeah, I got the constitution on the run n'Cause even though we've got the right nTo defend our home, to defend our life nGot to understand to get it in hand about the guns nn[Chorus]nnSaturday night just ain't that special nFreedom to be afraid is all you want nYes if you don't want to be next nYou've got a family to protect n9 out of 10, you've got a friend, you've got a gun. nn[Chorus]nnEverybody got a pistol, this mosty be the N-R-A nYeah 'cause when it's time to shine up nYou know damn well they're gonna line up nEverybodynnAnd the philosophy seem to be nAt least as near as I can see nWhen other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine
