UNDER THE GUN

a.k.a. RICH PUNK

Version 2

Sometimes I see her at the end of the programming day
And in the dark I feel something sucking my whole life away
??? Mister, Mister I won't run
And you take what your given when your living Billy under the gun

Sometimes at night Billy I just lie awake*
I pull Mary close, I feel every breath she takes*
I want to go out and just get me a gun
But you take what your given when your living Billy under the gun

Thematically similar to JACKSON CAGE, it is the tale of how the pressures of modern living can suck away the goodness in the world, and the love between a man and a woman.

This take is only 1 minute long. Check also version 1, version 3, and version 4. All those versions were recorded between Mar and Apr 1979 in Holmdel, NJ.

* Similar to some THE RIVER lines.
