No rifle, no pistol, No shotgun in sight, No revolver, automatic, No assault
gun tonight,
C

No clips crammed with bullets Anywhere to be found, No weapons just laying around?

What if, no matter how outraged he was, How furious he
was, How murderous he was,

If he dug through his pickup, The back seat, the trunk, The attic, the
basement, And piles of old junk,
C G A

And came up empty-handed, Again and again, Tell me, what
would he do then?
