Guns On the Roof lyrics

I swear by Almighty God

To tell the whole truth

And nothin' but the truth

Guns guns (x4)

They torture all the women and children

Then they've put the men to the gun

Because across the human frontier

Freedom's always on the run

Guns guns, a-shakin' in terror

Guns guns, killin' 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 keys of the legal rapers

A jury of a billion faces

Shouted out condemned out of hand

Guns guns, and nobody's kiddin'

Guns guns, or foolin' around

Guns guns, the violence is singin'

Guns guns, a silence the sound

And I like to be in Africa

A'beatin' on the final drum

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

Makin' sure these things will come

I like to be in U.S.A

Pretendin' that the wars are done

And I like to be in Europe

Saying goodbye to everyone

Guns guns, guns on the roof

Guns guns, made to shoot (x5)
