The Clash, "Guns of Brixton"

[solinvictus]

This, in my view, is a good summation in favor of the ownership of firearms.


"The Guns of Brixton"

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

1. Funny, I had "Police and Thieves" running through my head this morning

I was thinking about Bush's appointment to Homeland Security. Bernard Kerik is a fright. Have you read his resume'?

2. Not really..

other than the fact that he's been a corrupt failure in every endeavor, but that fits this administration.

3. Kerik's story

Another DUer found this.

4. Great...

El Presidente places a corrupt cop into the position of Homeland Security and the two NY senators fawn over him. We're really screwed.
