Tommy gun | |
You ain't happy less you got one | |
Tommy gun | |
Ain't gonna shoot the place up | |
Just for fun | |
Maybe he wants to 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 custom run | |
Tommy gun | |
Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come | |
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 | |
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 | |
An' give my false support to your cause | |
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it! | |
Boats an' tanks and planes, it's your game | |
Kings an' queens an' generals learn your name | |
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice | |
And if death comes so cheap | |
Then the same goes for life! |
