I Shot a Gun Today

I shot a gun today
For the first time
I was surprised at how easy it was
And that it made me feel so powerful
I think I'm ready
To start a revolution

We got elections coming up
I don't know who I wanna pick
A criminal or a racist pig
It's the same damn thing every couple years
I think it's time to overthrow the government

So I was getting myself ready for the revolution
Getting myself ready for the revolution
'Til I remembered
I have work in the morning
(Uhh the revolution will have to happen)
(After 5 PM Monday through Friday)

Spent the summer on the road
Driving through the deserts and mountains sleeping on
Floors and couches
Whoever said you needed money for travel didn't have many friends
Now I'm back in Pennsylvania sleeping in 'til 11 AM
My friends
They call me lazy
They just don't get it
I've been dreaming of my plan for the revolution

So I've been getting myself ready for the cold cold winter
Getting myself ready for the cold cold winter
Forgot to stop and watch the leaves change colours
Watch them all fall down
I shot a gun today
I was surprised at how easy it was
I think I'm gonna ask for one for Christmas
Either that or a new guitar
