Janie's Got A Gun



 

(Tyler/Hamilton)



ch' dum dum dum, honey what have you done

ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound of my gun

ch' dum dum dum, honey what have you done

ch' dum dum dum, it's the sound, it's the sound



Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

whole world's come undone

lookin' straight at the sun



what did her daddy do

what did he put you through

they say when Janie was arrested

they found him underneath a train

but man he had it comin'

now that Janie's got a gun

she ain't never gonna be the same



Janie got a gun

Janie got a gun

dog days just begun

now everybody is on the run



tell me now it's untrue

what did her daddy do

he jacked a little bitty baby

the man has got to be insane

they say the spell that he was under

the lightning and the thunder

knew that someone had to stop the rain



run away, run away from the pain

run away, run away from the pain

run away, run away

run, run away



what did her daddy do

it's Janie's last I-O-U

she had to take him down easy

and put a bullet in his brain [alt: she left him in the pouring rain]

she said 'cause nobody believes me

the man was such a sleaze

he ain't never gonna be the same



honey honey, what's the problem

tell me it ain't right

was it your daddy's cradle-robbin' that

made you scream at night
