Lyrics Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson

Lickin' the Gun

'eat lead, you scum-sucking...'

'lickin' the gun... 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

('mmm, nice...')

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 lawsuits fly, guess I'll duck

(shhah)

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

('mmm, nice...')

(yeah)

(shhah)

Lick it

(yeah)

(shhah)

(yeah)

Oooh, h-hey, lick it

(shhah)

(shhah)

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

('just having fun...')

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... yeah')

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

Oooh, yeah, yeah

('lickin' the gun... yeah')

Lick that gun, lick that, lick that

Lick that gun, yeah

(shhah)

Oooh, yeah, yeah

('lick it...')

Lick that gun

('lick it...')

Gonna lick it, oh, lick it, oh

Lick that gun

(yeah)
