The Gun and The Gavel
The Gun and The Gavel: Unveiling the Shadows of Justice
Lyrics
Some look good in uniform
Some individuals appear appealing in uniforms.
Some need guns to keep them warm
Some rely on guns for comfort or security.
Some are here to make a stand
Some are present to take a firm position or make a statement.
It's the good we do that makes us men
Being virtuous and doing good deeds defines true masculinity.
He prowls the street at night
A character roams the streets at night.
Loaded discipline in hand
Carrying a disciplined demeanor and likely armed.
Not so innocent
Challenging the perception of innocence.
He's a wealthy man
Characterized as wealthy or privileged.
When it's time to pay the piper
When consequences arise, he has the means to handle them.
When it's time to pay his dues
Facing the repercussions of his actions.
Lay the gavel down soft
Gently delivering justice, perhaps in a legal context.
It may not even make the news
The impact may go unnoticed or unreported.
The chalk outline of a boy
A symbolic depiction of a tragic event.
Pollutes the street at night
The aftermath of a violent incident stains the streets.
The parents and relatives have no choice
Families feel compelled to surrender in the face of tragedy.
In giving up the fight
Accepting defeat in the struggle for justice.
Some look good in uniform
Reiteration of the diverse appearances and roles.
Some need guns to keep them warm
Some find solace or power in firearms.
Some are here to make a stand
Reaffirmation of taking a stand or making a statement.
It's the good we do that makes us men
Emphasizing the virtue of doing good as a defining aspect of masculinity.
Father stands at a wealthy doorstep
A father seeking revenge at a wealthy individual's doorstep.
Loaded revenge in hand
Loaded with a desire for retaliation.
What else does he have to lose?
Facing dire circumstances and having little to lose.
He's a poor man
Characterized as economically disadvantaged.
When it's time to pay the piper
Confronting the consequences and obligations.
When it's time to pay his dues
Fulfilling the responsibilities and paying the price.
Drop the gavel down hard
Administering justice firmly and decisively.
The cheapest ride is rigged to
A metaphorical reference to a rigged situation with dire consequences.
Some look good in uniform
Reiteration of the diversity in appearances and roles.
Some need guns to keep them warm
Highlighting the reliance on firearms for some individuals.
Some are here to make a stand
Reaffirmation of taking a stand or making a statement.
It's the good we do that makes us men
Emphasizing the virtue of doing good as a defining aspect of masculinity.
