My daddy he once told me:
"Don't think you can be a man
With just a bullet in your gun
And a pistol in your hand"

Guns are now outlawed
And only outlaws have guns
And you can't walk the streets
Feeling safe anymore

Only thieves on parole
And the cops out on patrol
Walk the streets feeling safe
Ain't it strange?
Due to gun control

Let me see you dance, ooh-ooh
Let me see you dance
Let me see you dance, partner dance
Ain't it strange hit the floor?
Due to gun control

In this land of milk and honey
We tried so hard to make our own
You've got your feel of choice
Living clean or living wrong
The power of persuasion
Like your loved one's broken bones
And if not your wife and child
You lose everything you own

Only thieves on a parole
And the cops out on patrol
Walk the streets feeling safe
Ain't it strange?
Due to gun control

Let me see you dance, ooh-ooh
Let me see you dance
Let me see you dance
Partner dance, ain't it strange?
Due to gun control

In this great country of ours
Yes we have finally grown
Built with sweat and muscle
And tape recorded telephones

Only thieves on a parole
And the cops out on patrol
Walk the streets feeling safe
Ain't it strange?
Due to gun control
Let me see you dance, ooh-ooh
Let me see you dance
Let me see you dance, partner dance
Ain't it strange hit the floor?
Due to gun control
Due to gun control

Ooh-hoo, due to gun control
Ooh-hoo, due to gun control
Ooh-hoo, due to gun control
