[Verse 1]
Go get your gun, get your gun, and let's find out what it does
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
We haven't won, and if we win, and if the morning light sets in
We've cheated fate again

[Chorus]
And to those who die, please try to understand
That for those who die, we try the best we can
With our one foot in the grave
While the other one's kickin' its way right down to hell

[Verse 2]
Go get your gun, get your gun, imposing penance one by one
You've got a virtue in a vice, it forces fate, you're taking lives
With all the history to guide, you've got a passion in those eyes
So aim it straight and true

[Chorus]
And to those who die, please try to understand
That for those who die, we try the best we can
With our one foot in the grave
While the other one's kickin' its way right down to hell

[Bridge]
Now, when this is over
Then, we'll raise a glass
Straight up to the sun
With our one foot in the grave
While the other one's kickin' its way right down to hell
[Verse 1 (reprise)]
Go get your gun, get your gun, and let's find out what it does
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
We haven't won and if we win, and if the morning light sets in
We've cheated fate again

[Chorus]
And to those who die, please try to understand
That for those who die, we try the best we can
And to those who die, please try to understand
That for those who die, we try the best we can
With our one foot in the grave
While the other one's kickin' its way right down to hell
