12. This Gun Will Misfire (3:35)
You must have somethin' better to do
Than learn to shoot that gun
You could read some history
See how the West was really won

Kings may come, queens may go
Be wary of desire
For when you think you need it most
That gun will misfire

There's a message in Afghanistan
Opium wins their trust
Charlie Wilson, the communists
They hate to take a loss

Kings may live, lose their thrones
They're junkies on the wire
You can warn the south with nukes and drones
That gun will misfire

Remember me when I am gone
I am the fool who got it wrong
One thing I said you can rely on
That gun will misfire

Could be that fatal click
You'll wish you chose a knife
A little toil, a little foil
Might have changed your life

There is a plague not far from here
Who likes to spread his seed
You may be the winning one
That feels the need to breed

When they play, they fly away
Before they join the choir
But please ?? for an easy out
That gun will misfire

Remember me when I am gone
I am the fool who got the ending wrong
One thing I said we're depending on
That gun will misfire

You must have somethin' better to do
Than learn to shoot that gun
You could'a read some history
Seen how the West was really won
