The Clash — The Guns of Brixton Live at Shea Stadium

[Joe Strummer] "[...]Mister Paul Simonon is now gonna bring you with walking in The Guns of Brixton." [Mick Jones] "Yeah, ask your neighbor what that's about." [Verse 1] When they kick at your front door How you gonna go? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of the gun [Pre-Chorus] When the law brace in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting in death row [Chorus] You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton! [Post-Chorus] Money feels good And your life you like it well But surely your time will come As in heaven, as in hell [Chorus] You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton! You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton! [Verse 2] You see, he feels like Ivan Born under the Brixton sun His game is called survivin' At the end of The Harder They Come [Chorus] You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton! [Pre-Chorus] You know it means no mercy They caught him with a gun No need for the Black Maria Goodbye to the Brixton sun [Chorus] You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton You can crush us You can bruise us And even shoot us But oh, the guns of Brixton! [Instrumental Outro] [Joe Strummer] "Yeah if you don't know what's a... If you don't know what's going on just ask the person standing next to you as we go into, Tommy Gun."
