Self Defence

In your modern nation Your civilisation Is under a threat from miniaturisation ’cause one day they’ll make it, in China they’ll fake it A nice compact nuclear bomb... That Clips on a rocket That fits in your pocket And no one cares where it comes from Taiwan or China or what could be finer... A genuine one from Hong Kong Global destruction With basic instruction For people in banks, shops and farms Wherever they’re working there’s somebody lurking Demanding the right to bear arms Your forefathers voted And thus it was noted (In spite of a future not reckoned) They’d keep arms resplendent, and wrote an amendment And this one they numbered the second But when they discussed it Sword, cannon and musket Was just about all that they’d got Rather less keen, if they had foreseen Machine gun or multiple shot If you need to clobber a thug or a robber Here’s what I can’t help thinking of One shot at a time can stop them just fine So, what’s with the Kalashnikov So when they invent it And fakers have bent it And nobody cares who it harms I hope you have fun with your nuclear gun ’cause you have the right to bear arms
