(The Clash Cover, 1995)
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 break in /
How you gonna go? /
Shot down on the pavement /
Or waiting in death row /
/
You can crush us /
You can bruise us /
But you'll have to answer to /
Oh, Guns of Brixton
/
The money feels good /
And your life you like it well /
But surely your time will come /
As in heaven, as in hell
/
You see, 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
/
You can crush us /
You can bruise us /
But you'll have to answer to /
Oh-the guns of Brixton
/
When they kick out your front door /
How you gonna come? /
With your hands on your head /
Or on the trigger of your gun /
/
You can crush us /
You can bruise us /
And even shoot us /
But oh- the guns of Brixton
/
Shot down on the pavement /
Waiting in death row /
His game was survivin' /
As in heaven as in hell /
/
You can crush us /
You can bruise us /
But you'll have to answer to /
Oh, the guns of Brixton
