Lickin’ the Gun Songtext
von Bruce Dickinson

(Eat lead, you scum sucking′)

Lickin' the gun, yeah, yeah

Lickin′ the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin′ fun
Lickin′ the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin′ the gun finger lickin' fun

Senator husband goin′ for broke
Gotta prove I'm not a joke
We smoked the stuff in ′69
Now it's different, it's a crime

Kids today don′t understand
Kids today need a guiding hand
Sticker if it rhymes with truck
When the law suits fly, guess I′ll duck

Lickin' the gun, lickin′ the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin′ fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin′ the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun


Watch religion come and go
Watch corruption on their shows
Buy your silence money for blood
Out of the ark and into the flood

Crazy men with Russian guns
My words never killed anyone
Kissing babies lickin′ the gun
Ain′t political nah, having fun

Lickin' the gun, lickin′ the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin′ fun
Lickin' the gun, lickin′ the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin' fun

Oh, yeah, yeah
Lick it
Yeah, lick it, yeah
Yeah

Lick it

Eat it up, lay down and die
They′ll shoot you up and they don′t know why
They're doing a job and they enjoy it too
They′re protecting us from me and you


We smoked the stuff in '69
Now it′s different it's a crime
I don′t care to wait and see
If I'm cool enough to make history

Lickin' the gun, lickin′ the hand that feeds you
Lickin′ the gun finger lickin' fun
Lickin′ the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin′ the gun finger lickin' fun

Lickin′ the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin' the gun finger lickin′ fun
Lickin′ the gun, lickin' the hand that feeds you
Lickin′ the gun finger lickin' fun

Oh yeah, yeah, lick that gun, lick that, lick that, lick that gun, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, lick that gun, gonna lick it on, lick it on
Lick that gun, yeah, yeah
