The Clash - Tommy Gun (Live at Shea Stadium) lyrics

Tommy gun
You ain't happy 'less you got one
Tommy gun ain't gonna shoot you up
Just for fun
Maybe you want to die for the money
You want to die for your country
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it

Tommy gun
Waiting at the airport 'till kingdom come
Tommy gun
You better strip it down for a customs run
An' we can watch you make it
On the nine o'clock news
Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it
Tommy gun tommy gun
Oh Oh, Oh Oh

Tommy gun you'll be dead when war is won
Tommy gun did you have to gun down everyone?


I can see it's kill or be killed
A nation of destiny got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it!

Tommy gun
You can be a hero in an age of none
Tommy gun
I'm cutting out your picture from page one
Gonna get a jacket just like yours
Give my false support to your phony cause
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it!
All right!

So let's agree 'bout the price
One jet airliner for ten prisoners

Boats an' tanks and planes your game
Kings an' queens an' generals
Learn your name
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
If death comes so cheap then goes for life

"Eeeeh, we'd like to you New
York to Jamaica and back"
