the guns of brixton

calexico

when they kick out 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 in death row

you can crush us

you can bruise us

but you'll have to answer to

oh

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

when the law break in

how you gonna go?

shot down on the pavement

or waiting in death row

you can crush us

you can bruise us

have to answer to

oh

guns of brixton

y si una bala roza tu frente

doblas la vida

matas el tiempo

gracias a ella maria negra

que te protege de este mal tiempo

nunca te rindas

piensa en tu gente

maria negra

seca tu frente

santa maria

maria negra

cuida tu tiempo

cuida tu suerte

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

bruise us

but you'll have to answer to

oh-the guns of brixton

when they kick out your front doors

how you gonna come?

with your hands on your head

or on the trigger of your gun

you can crush us

bruise us

but you'll have to answer to

oh

the guns of brixton

oh

the guns of brixton

oh

the guns of brixton

oh

the guns of brixton

oh

the guns of brixton
