Lyrics Peter Doherty

Peter Doherty

Hell to Pay at the Gates of Heaven

Come on boys you gotta choose your weapon

J-45 or AK-47

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

And the whole show it comes tumbling down

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

Come on choose your weapons

J-45's or AK-47's

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

And the whole show it comes tumbling down

The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee

Join a band or join the army

It's a hell of a kickback from the grind

Kick back and blow your tiny mind

It took three-page advert on the LA Times

They want religious fanatics with a military mind

They want from London to Bangkok

Moscow to Palestine

Hoping and praying in time

Come on choose your weapons

J-45's or AK-47's

It's all aboard for Armageddon

And the whole damn show it comes tumbling down

The only way out of the ghetto or the farm for thee

Join a band or join the army

It's a hell of a kickback from the grind

Kick back and blow your tiny mind

How you're gonna provide for your vast idle family?

Start a band or start the army

London, Hamburg, and Palestine

Hoping and crawling and praying in time

Come on you gotta choose your weapon

J-45 or AK-47

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

And the whole show comes tumbling down
