Road of the Righteous

Lyrics: McColgan, Music: Barton

Now I saw a man stand up one day and fight to save his life, just a common worker, supporting his kids and his wife, he put a plug in his jug things looked up for sure but the whole damn thing of it was there is no blasted cure

chorus: I’ve seen a few men go “The Road of the Righteous” and a few have traveled “This Old Lonely Path” I’ve seen a few men go “The Road of the Righteous” by God I’m sure we’ll see some more “go there blessed way”

Hey it’s gonna, take some foot work to get you on your way, they’ll be pit-falls and some cat-calls but hard you must persist, cause life is so precious and we have only got one shot, so if you move along and you stay God strong all the treasures will be got

chorus:

Now I say a man stand up one day and fight to save his life Just a common worker, supporting his kids and his wife, he put a plug in his jug things looked up for sure but the whole damn thing of it was there is no blasted cure

chorus:

Guns Of Brixton

Music / Lyrics: Clash, Paul Simonon

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.

Chorus: 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.

chorus:

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, You can even shoot us…..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

chorus:

Oh, The Guns Of Brixton (4x)
