about

“Gun Inside My Pocket” laments the violent world which we so created where violence is the go-to tool to control and manipulate entire populations.

lyrics

Got a gun inside my pocket
White flag in my hand
Got a gun inside my pocket
So much danger in this land
Either make my peace with strangers
Or find a place to make my stand

Got trouble right behind me
Hard road up ahead
Got trouble right behind me
Taking names and making threats
Better outrun all my troubles
Or play the martyr game instead

This side of paradise
There's a war of words, ringing through our minds
Divide and conquer, divert attention from our lives

Didn't shoot a man in Reno
Didn't rob a bank out West
Didn't shoot a man in Reno
Didn't wring that poor fool's neck
But I spoke some truth to power
Now they say I'm good as dead

Accusations fly
In a world of fear, where hate and anger thrives
Blame the victim, paint the world all black and white

Got a gun inside my pocket
White flag in my hand
Got a gun inside my pocket
So much danger in this land
Either make my peace with strangers
Or find a place to make a stand
Got a gun inside my pocket
So much danger in this land
Got a gun inside my pocket!
