HI. We're Brian Mauer and Ben Verson. We've been writing, recording and performing music for over 35 years together. What do we call it? HMMMMMMMMMM, we're not sure. We incorporate any and all styles. We hope you will find that we have succeeded in homogenizing a unique style. Influences range from classic rock (Beatles, Who, Zeppelin) to Folk, slip in a bit of bluegrass, and an equal amount of metal, and you get...Something, without a name.

Story behind the song

A little song about the proliferation of guns in our society.

Lyrics

A policeman in the Winchell’s 
Sips his cup of tea.
Designated the protector 
Of everyone you see.
As he rests a minute longer, 
There’s a shot out in the street.
They shoot John Lennon to the ground, 
And never miss a beat.

(Chorus)	

(I) Gotta getta gun, oh I gotta getta gun.
I’ve gotta  job to protect myself from everyone.
You can never be too careful in this “Loony Tune” world, 
Cause there’s always someone watching  
There’s always someone watching 
With his trigger finger curled.

A .22, a .32, 
A .38, a .44,
The more I feel threatened, 
The bigger I want the bore.   
And for those special occasions 
When a handgun just won’t do
I’ll have a sawed off shotgun 
And a hand grenade or two.

(Chorus)

The streets are walking armies, 
With the subjects poised and armed.
As the lobbyists all snicker at 
The Senators they’ve charmed.
Another man falls dead in the 
Fire and muzzle flash, 
And is swept into the garbage, 
Like the city’s other trash. 

(Chorus)
