Those Who Die By The Gun

Ever since I read the first draft script of Clue, this song has been, forming in my head. At the end of the first ending, The Chief says the following line:

CHIEF: I got her. She who lives by the gun, dies by the gun.

This line intrigued me. And, before to long, the following song had formed in my head.

Those Who Live By The Gun

Those who live by the gun, die by the gun, (die by the gun)

Those who live in the sky, die in the sun!

Those who murder for their pointless greed,

Will be paid for their dastardly deed,

Those who live by the gun, they die by the gun!

Those who live in the sky, die in the sky, (die in the sky)

Those with any sense don’t reason why!

Cause the earth is a spherical,

Authentic miracle,

Those who live in the sky, they die in the sky.

Those who live on this earth, die on this earth, (die on this earth)

Cause nobody’s been perfect since the first birth!

That’s why we must all stick together,

Though our causalities cease not ever,

Cause those who live on this earth,

Those who live on this earth,

Those who live on this earth, they die on this earth!

And those who live by the gun,

Those who live by the sun,

Those who live by the gun,

They die by the gun!
