Six Gun Justice: Outlaws, Betrayal, and the Price of Fame
Lyrics
Way out here in the wild wild West
Describing the setting in the untamed Western frontier.
Scores have a way of settling themselves
Conflicts tend to resolve themselves without formal intervention.
If the judge won't pull the trigger some fame-seeker will
If a legal authority hesitates, someone seeking fame may take action.
For his name in the paper and a hundred dollar bill
People may resort to violence for publicity and financial gain.
Six Gun Justice aces and eights
Reference to a powerful force or individual named "Six Gun Justice."
Six Gun Justice two shots will seal your fate
Two gunshots are portrayed as determining someone's destiny.
The devil will come for you in some nowhere cattle town
The idea that consequences catch up with individuals in remote towns.
'Cause six gun justice is gonna hunt you down
Emphasizing that the pursuit of justice is relentless.
The only friends you have are the ones you bought
Your only reliable allies are those you can buy or manipulate.
And they'll turn on you when opportunity knocks
Allies can betray you when their self-interest is at stake.
So keep your back to the wall and your hand on the gun
A cautionary advice to be cautious and prepared for danger.
And pray that you're ready when it comes
Hope that you're prepared for the inevitable challenges.
