Barrel Of The Gun

(album: A Weapon Called The Word - 1990)

(1, 2, 3, 4)

In a strange land
Far from these shores
Lay two men and a woman
Killed by the law
No matter what country
Under the sun
You can't mete justice
From the barrel of a gun

A car bomb they say
The S.A.S. on offense
Shot in the back
Makes no difference
Oh no, oh no
So no matter what country
Under the sun
You can't mete justice
From the barrel of a gun, a gun

Shoot to kill
Till both sides have their fill
Till both sides have their martyrs
And all the kids have no fathers
Oh no, oh no
So, no matter what country
Under the sun
You can't mete justice
The barrel of a gun
Oh, till you mothers have no sons
Till your battle it is won
Tell both sides
They have lost
All the blood that it cost
So, no matter what country
Under the sun
You can't mete justice
No, from the barrel of a gun
