Subject: Gun - Soundgarden

Song: Gun
Band: Soundgarden
Album: Louder Than Love

The coolest thing about this song is that it starts off really slow (60
bpm?) And gets faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster
until a really fast and short guitar solo.

Lyrics:    

     1st Verse:
     I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
     Sink load and fire till the empire
     Reaps what they've sown
     Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open
     Shoot shoot till thei eyes are closed
     Push push push till we get some motion
     Push push till the bombs explode

     2nd Verse:
     I got an idea. We can do it all on our own.
     Nothing to worry. Regret must weigh a ton
     Kick kick kick till the laws are broken
     Kick kick till the boots are worn
     Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken
     Hit hit till the truth is born

     3rd Verse:
     I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
