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
But you’ll have to answer to
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

Jimmy Cliff - The harder they come
Oh yeah, but oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you’re born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share now of what’s mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they’ll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, the harder they’ll fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors are tryin’ to keep me down
Tryin’ to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they’ve done
’Cos as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share now of what’s mine
And then the harder they come, the harder they’ll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, harder they’ll fall, one and all
Oh yeah, well oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
But I’ll keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you’re dead you can’t
But I’d rather be a free man in my grave
Then living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share right now of what’s mine
