Story behind the song

fairly political song for me, actually.

Lyrics

Love Starts at the Gun Factory 
               
It’s kinda crazy what we do
To protect a our own self-interest
I got a feeling I would too
If I could justify with intellect

Down the path we go
To avoid another one
Oh – you may not want it now
Yes - But I could get you one
             
But my words should not concern
Cause the truth would seem self-evident
I ignore your pleas to take it slow
I never wonder where my manners went

And if perceptions rule us all
Then I’m glad I’ve got a gun
No one will force their views on me
And I will not be undone

Chorus
Here it comes I don’t expect
I’ll be mistaken for someone who knows
But this I do believe
Love starts at the gun factory

They say an ill wind blows no good
This is a whirlwind in the truest sense
I will embrace the need for this
And my own desire for recompense

Oh you say you have no need
You believe in righteous innocence
Maybe my need’s the greater one
And by any means my own defence

It’s in my nature to be firm
I gotta force the hand that feeds
I gotta fight for what’s right
I gotta go with the flow

It’s my habit to intrude
It’s an addiction that I need to break
So maybe don’t get in my way
Of what I give with words and by other means take

I guess two rights could make a wrong
I’ll be sure to let you know what I find out
From what I’ve seen these days
Love starts at the gun factory
