Barrel of the Gun

In a strange land

far from these shores

lay two man and a woman

killed by the law

In no matter what country

under the sun

you can't meter justice

from the barrel of a gun

A car bomb they say

the S.A.S. on offense

shot in the back

makes no difference

shoot to kill

'til both sides have their fill

'til both sides have their martyrs

and all the kids have no fathers

'til you mothers have no sons

and the battle it is won

when both sides

they have lost

all the blood that it cost
