Guns Of Brixton
Jimmy Cliff
[Intro] [Verse 1] When they kick out your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun When the law breaks in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting on death row [Chorus] You can crush us you can bruise us But you’ll have to answer to Ooooooh guns of Brixton [Verse 2] The money seems good And your life you like it well But surely your time will come As in heaven or as in hell [Instrumental] x2 [Verse 3] You know he feels like Ivan Born under the Brixton sun His game is called survivin’ At the end of the harder they come You know it means no mercy They caught him with a gun No need for the Black Maria Goodbye to the Brixton sun [Chorus] You can crush us you can bruise us But you’ll have to answer to Ooooooh guns of Brixton [Instrumental] [Verse 4] When they kick out your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun When the law breaks in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting on death row [Chorus] You can crush us you can bruise us But you’ll have to answer to Ooooooh guns of Brixton [Chorus] You can shot us you can bruise us You can even shoot us But you’ll have to answer to Ooooooh guns of Brixton [Outro] x5
