Tommy Gun by The Clash

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 it down for a customs run
Tommy gun, waiting at the airport 'til 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 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 a 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
Kings and queens and generals, learn your name
And I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap, then the same goes for life
