Guns on the Roof

I swear by Almighty God

To tell the whole truth

And nothing but the truth

Guns guns

They torture all the women and children

Then they've put the men to the gun

'Cos across the human frontier

Freedom's always on the run

Guns guns a-shaking in terror

Guns guns killing in error

Guns guns guilty hands

Guns guns shatter the lands

A system built by the sweat of the many

Creates assassins to kill off the few

Take any place and call it a court house

This is a place where no judge can stand

Sue the lawyers and burn all the papers

Unlock the key of the legal rapers

A jury of a billion faces

Shouted out condemned out of hand

Guns guns, and nobody's kidding

Guns guns, or foolin' around

Guns guns, the violence is singing

Guns guns, a silence the sound

'N I Iike to be in Aferica

A-beatin' on the final drum

'N I like to be in U.S.S.R.

Makin' sure these things will come

'N I like to be in U.S.A.

Pretending that the wars are done

'N I like to be in Europa

Saying goodbye to everyone

Guns guns there's guns on the roof

Guns guns they're made to shoot
