Got a gun
I was listening to Pearl Jam's Vs. album today when the song "Glorified G" came on. I always liked the song but I never thought it had any real meaning.
It was eerie how relevant these lyrics feel today:
Got a gun, fact I got two
That’s o.k. man, cuz I love god
That pretty much sums up my narrow understanding of the red state mentality.
