Got No Use

I can use a hammer to drive in a nail
with a shovel I can dig me a hole
I can fetch water with a five gallon pail
with a scuttle I can fetch me some coal
with an eight pound maul
I can split wood all
winter, but I’ll tell you son
I got a lot of use for a lot of things
but I got no use for a gun

I can use a pen to write a shopping list
or check or a letter or a song
fetch me a wrench and I can fix this
with a tape I can measure how low
I need to cut this board
on the table saw
so it fits, but I’ll tell you son
I got a lot of use for a lot of things
but I got no use for a gun

now, my friend Zack likes to sit in the wood
with a bow or rifle and a few rounds
but guns in this hood never come to no good
so I’ll never keep none around

everybody holler
get hot under the collar ‘bout
constitutional law
all I know is tools I like
and tools I don’t
‘cause there’s nothin’ that they’re good for

I can use a hammer to drive in a nail
with a shovel I can dig me a hole
I can fetch water with a five gallon pail
with a scuttle I can fetch me some coal
with an 8 pound maul
I can split wood all
winter, but I’ll tell you son
I got a lot of use for a lot of things
but I got no use for a gun
