Give 'Em Enough Rope

Tommy gun 
You ain't happy 'less you got one 
Tommy gun 
Ain't gonna shoot the place up 
just for fun 
Maybe he wanna die for the money 
Maybe he wants to kill for his country 
Whatever he wants, he's gonna get it! 


Tommy gun 
You better strip it down for a customs run 
Tommy gun 
Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come 
An' we can watch you make it 
on the nine o'clock news 
Standing there in palestine lighting a fuse 
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it 


Tommy gun 


Tommy gun 


Tommy gun 
You'll be dead [when your] war is won 
Tommy gun 
But did you have to gun down everyone 
I can see it's kill or be killed 
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled 
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it! 


Tommy Gun 
You can be a hero in an age of none 
Tommy gun 
I'm cutting out your picture from page one 
I'm gonna get a jacket just like yours 
An' give my false support to your cause 
Whatever you want, you're gonna get it! 


Alright! 


Okay! 


So there's a street 
About the price 
And there's a one chance [of] survival 
Pretend with it all 


Boats an' tanks and planes, it's your game 
Kings an' queens an' generals, learn your name 
I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice 
And if death comes so cheap 
Then stay up all night
