Lyrics:
The battle at the box store broke at Oh-8-35
when seven thugs burst through the door, their balls in overdrive.
They sprinted on towards HARDWARE where their would-be weapons hung,
never doubting that they’d have their way. They’d grab those tools and run.
Looks like trouble….trouble….trouble
at the big box store.
But over on aisles 5 and 9 resistance soon arose.
We’d picked up on the hubbub. All my “buds” were on their toes.
Once cops and SEALs, though now retired, we’d come to buy some things
to spruce up the gazebo at our church, the King Of Kings.
Looks like trouble…..trouble….trouble
at the big box store.
We all should know that times have changed, we’d better be alert.
Domestic terrorists won’t cringe. They’ll plant you in the dirt.
Protect yourself, your family, too, I’m serious as hell.
If you could’ve saved some lives, your comment shouldn’t be, “Oh well….Oh well”
They didn’t know what hit them, as we soon curtailed their crap,
‘cuz my bros all knew that HARDWARE was a small, three-sided trap.
Thanking God that we all carried, as we closed in from both sides.
It was over in two minutes, in that space ‘twas hard to hide;
Most of them had revolvers, but a couple had AR’s.
Our good guys’ Glocks and Rugers kept those homies from their cars.
Tho’ a couple of our boys got hit, we all got in our licks.
The intercom screamed joyfully, “Clean up on Aisle 6”.
Looks like trouble….trouble….trouble
at the big box store.
As the breathless first responders pondered, “What the hell is this?”,
the manager bestowed upon each one of us a kiss.
We checked each other over, hugging friends, and shaking hands,
realizing that Amendment Two’s a blessing in our land.
We all should know that times have changed, we’d better be alert.
Domestic terrorists won’t cringe. They’ll plant you in the dirt.
Protect yourself, your family, too, I’m serious as hell.
If you could’ve saved some lives, your comment shouldn’t be, “Oh well…..Oh well.”
Amendment Two was written to give citizens the choice
of bearing arms and giving them some backing to their voice.
When government or neighbors try to take our things by force,
it gives us all a chance to try to chart a different course.
