0:16Tommy gun
0:19You ain't happy less you got one
0:22Tommy gun
0:25Ain't gonna shoot the place up
0:27Just for fun
0:28Maybe he wants to die for the money
0:31Maybe he wants to kill for his country
0:34Whatever he wants he's gonna get it
0:41Tommy gun
0:44You better strip it down for a customs run
0:47Tommy gun
0:50Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come
0:53An' we can watch you make it
0:54On the nine o'clock news
0:56Standing there in palestine lighting the fuse
0:59Whatever you want you're gonna get it
1:06Tommy gun
1:33You'll be dead when your war is won
1:36Tommy gun
1:39But did you have to gun down everyone
1:42I can see it's kill or be killed
1:45A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
1:48Whatever you want you're gonna get it
1:55Tommy gun
1:57You can be a hero in an age of none
2:00Tommy gun
2:03I'm cutting out your picture from page one
2:06I'm gonna get a jacket just like yours
2:09An' give my false support to your cause
2:12Whatever you want you're gonna get it
2:19Okay so let's agree about the price
2:35And make it one jet airliner for ten prisoners
2:43Boats an' tanks and planes it's your game
2:49Kings an' queens an' generals learn your name
2:55I see all the innocents the human sacrifice
3:01And if death comes so cheap
3:03Then the same goes for life
