My friend’s got a handgun – he hates to mingle
\nHe proves it everyday
\nHe says “Man I’m really gonna kill people”
\nHe says they’re gonna pay
\nThey call him an ass, he prefers to be alone
\nHe knows the rumours, the bad things they say
\nThe name’s derogatory, said in a bad tone
\nWell my friend hopes they’ll decay<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nI won’t shoot, I won’t shoot ya – not yet
\nNow, now why don’t you drop the gun
\nSaid don’t shoot, said don’t shoot, yeah, forget it
\nNow now, why don’t you let them run<\/p>\n

I guess all his buddies
\nWell they aren’t enough
\nTo keep those jocks from teasing his way
\nI guess all his homies
\nThey got it a bit rough
\nCause those girls got boys from E-Bay<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Well I guess it ain’t easy
\nShooting dudes in the hall, oh yeah
\nBut hey man free shots just don’t come along
\nIn a brawl<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

(Let me tell you about my hip, cool friend now)
\nMy friend’s got a locker
\nArranged in order
\nHardworking, the teacher’s pet
\nHe’s got more friends than you
\nObviously now, that
\nWell my friend, you’d hate him too<\/p>\n
