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 [Joe Strummer] "Eeeeh, we'd like to you New York to Jamaica and back"
