The Clash - Tommy Gun (Recorded 1978) lyrics

[The Clash - Tommy Gun Recorded 1978 lyrics]

Tommy gun
You ain't happy unless you got one
Tommy gun
Ain't gonna shoot the place up just for fun
Maybe he wanna die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he's gonna get it

Tommy gun
You better strip it down for a customs run
Tommy gun
Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come
And we can watch you make it
On the 9: 00 news
Standing there in Palestine, lighting a fuse
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it
Tommy gun

Tommy gun
You'll be dead when your war is won
Tommy gun


But did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see it's kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has 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
I'm gonna get a jacket just like yours
And give my full support to your cause
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it

So let's agree about the price
And make it one jet
Airliner for ten prisoners
Boats and tanks and planes, it's your game
Kings and queens and generals learn your name

I see all the innocents the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap
Then the same goes for life
