The Clash - Tommy Gun

VERY GOOD QUALITY (at least for real time video)

TOMMY GUN
YOU AIN'T HAPPY LESS YOU 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 CUSTOM RUN
TOMMY GUN
WAITING IN THE AIRPORT 'TILL KINGDOM COME
AN' WE CAN WATCH YOU MAKE IT
ON THE NINE O'CLOCK NEWS
STANDING THERE IN PALESTINE LIGHTING THE FUSE
WHATEVER YOU WANT, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT

TOMMY GUN
YOU'LL BE DEAD WHEN YOUR WAR IS WON
TOMMY GUN
BUT DID YOU HAVE TO GUN DOWN EVERYONE?
I CAN SEE IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED
A NATION OF DESTINY HAS GOT TO BE FULFILLED
WHATEVER YOU WANT, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT!

TOMMY GUN
YOU CAN BE A HERO IN AN AGE OF NONE
TOMMY GUN
I'M CUTTING OUT YOUR PICTURE FROM PAGE ONE
I'M GONNA GET A JACKET JUST LIKE YOURS
AN' GIVE MY FALSE SUPPORT TO YOUR CAUSE
WHATEVER YOU WANT, YOU'RE GONNA GET IT!

BOATS AN' TANKS AND PLANES, IT'S YOUR GAME
KINGS AN' QUEENS AN' GENERALS LEARN YOUR NAME
I SEE ALL THE INNOCENTS, THE HUMAN SACRIFICE
AND IF DEATH COMES SO CHEAP
THEN THE SAME GOES FOR LIFE!

The passage from 2:18 to the end is one of the best bits of rock music EVER, in my humble opinion.

[jsbret2729]

damn dude he hated bein called woody

r.i.p JOE

[MASON SUMMERS]

Tommmmy Gu-un, a you could be a hero in an age of none. Punk rock? Sock puppets? Watch the video on my channel.

[TheRealCritique]

Mick Jones is a master of economy in both thrythm guitar, leads, and backing vocals. Total champ. and Topper Headon on drums - don't get me started. Has to be in the top 5.

[TheRealCritique]

Justin's gonna contract throat and anal cancer from all the industry schwanz he's servicing....

[soadratmetc]

Ahahaha so true xD

[Hummus5989]

I love this song to death, but this video gives yet another example of why you should never have a close up on a British person's mouth.

[plasmidsheep]

I can't get over how badass they are.

[Evan42881]

This is my favorite song by them. This just speaks to my soul.

[Windfall32]

How does everyone else not realize that this is not a serious comment

[trulysarcastic]
