The Clash - Guns on the Roof lyrics

[The Clash - Guns on the Roof lyrics]

I swear by Almighty God
To tell the whole truth
And nothin' but the truth

Guns guns guns guns
Guns guns guns guns

They torture all the women and children
Then they've put the men to the gun
Because across the human frontier
Freedom's always on the run
Guns guns, a-shakin' in terror
Guns guns, killin' in error
Guns guns, guilty hands
Guns guns, shatter the lands

A system built by the sweat of the many
Creates assassins to kill off the few
Take any place and call it a court house
This is a place where no judge can stand
Sue the lawyers and burn all the papers


Unlock the keys of the legal rapers
A jury of a billion faces
Shouted out condemned out of hand

Guns guns, and nobody's kiddin'
Guns guns, or foolin' around
Guns guns, the violence is singin'
Guns guns, a silence the sound

And I like to be in Africa
A'beatin' on the final drum
I like to be in USSR
Makin' sure these things will come
I like to be in USA
Pretendin' that the wars are done
And I like to be in Europe
Saying goodbye to everyone

Guns guns, guns on the roof
Guns guns, ready to shoot
Guns guns, guns on the roof
Guns guns, ready to shoot
Guns guns, guns on the roof
Guns guns, ready to shoot
Guns guns, guns on the roof
Guns guns, ready to shoot
Guns guns, guns on the roof
Guns guns, ready to shoot
