I'm Gonna Get Me a Gun

"I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun" is a song that Cat Stevens composed and recorded in 1967, and was produced by Mike Hurst of Decca Records' recently added Deram Records. It was released as a 45 in the UK, reaching number 6 in the charts, and was featured on U.S pressings of his debut album Matthew and Son.

Subject

The song's protagonist is a young man who means to obtain a gun, out of frustration with his grinding, unfulfilling work and the lack of respect he apparently receives from his co-workers.
