Tommy Gun — текст песни (The Clash)

(Strummer/Jones)


Tommy gun – you ain`t happy �less he 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 down for a custom run
Tommy gun – waiting at the airport �till Kingdom Come
An` we can watch you make it on the nine o`clock news
Standing there in Palestine lighting a fuse
Whatever you want, you`re gonna get it

Tommy gun
Tommy gun

Tommy gun – a-you`ll be dead when you war is won
Tommy gun – but did you have to gun down everyone?
I can see its kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you`re gonna get it

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

Okay, so let`s agree about the price
An` make it one jet airliner for ten prisoners
And boats and tanks and planes, it`s your game
Kinds and Queens and Generals, learn your name
I see the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap, then the same goes for life
