Judy Collins - Shoot First lyrics

The minstrel boy to the war is gone

In the ranks of death you'll find him

His father's sword he has girded on

And his wild harp slung behind him

Go get your guns, it's time to play

Let's hurry up, don't waste the day

Out in the park we'll stage a fight

Just like on the TV

You play the one who has to die

I'll shoot the gun and you will cry

You will fall down and I will run

Just like on the TV

My daddy has a gun for real

He says he'll teach me to use it

I'm gonna have my own someday

Just like on the TV

My daddy told me what to do

If anybody bothers you

He says the law is on our side

Just like on the TV

You've gotta shoot first, shoot first

You've gotta shoot first and ask your questions later

Shoot first, you've gotta shoot first

Shoot first, you gotta get them before they get you

My older brother has his own

It's got a handle made of bone

He carries it all over town

Just like on the TV

My daddy gave my mama one

Genuine real pearl handled gun

She says she gonna have some fun

Just like on the TV

Did you see who got shot last night?

I stayed up to watch him

They rushed him off to surgery

Right there on the TV

Gosh, I hope they catch the guy

I think they ought to shoot him

But if they bring him in alive

He'll be on the TV

You've gotta shoot first, shoot first

You've gotta shoot first and ask your questions later

Shoot first, you've gotta shoot first

Shoot first, you gotta get them before they get you

I've got to go, it's getting late

I wish I had a real gun

Then I would never be afraid

Like some guys on TV

I'd never use my gun on you

You'd never have to worry

You'd be the good guy on my side

Just like on the TV

I think when I grow up someday

I'm gonna be a Green Beret

I saw them sailing off to war

Last night on the TV

My daddy says it's not a game

We've got to play to win it

He says I'll have to learn to fight

Just like on the TV

You've gotta shoot first, shoot first

You've gotta shoot first and ask your questions later

Shoot first, you've gotta shoot first

Shoot first, you gotta get them before they get you

Shoot first, shoot first

You've gotta shoot first and ask your questions later

Shoot first, you've gotta shoot first

Shoot first, you gotta get them before they get you

"Land of song", said the warrior bard

Tho' all the world betrays thee

One sword at least thy rights shall guard

One faithful harp shall praise thee
