Barrel Of A Gun
Levellers

1, 2, 3, 4


In a strange land

Far from these shores

Lay two men and a woman

Killed by the law


No matter what country

Under the sun

You can't mete 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


Oh no, Oh no,

So no matter what country

Under the sun

You can't mete justice

From the barrel of a gun, a gun.


Shoot to kill

'til both sides have their fill

'til both sides have their martyrs

And all the kids have no fathers


Oh no, oh no,

So, no matter what country

Under the sun

You can't mete justice

The barrel of a gun


Oh, 'til you mothers have no sons

'til your battle it is won

Tell both sides

They have lost

All the blood that it cost


So, no matter what country

Under the sun

You can't mete justice

No, from the barrel of a gun
