Tommy Gun Lyrics

    (strummer/jones)

    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!
