Intro
1st Verse [Pattern I] When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
2nd Verse [Pattern I] When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
Chorus [Pattern II] You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh-the guns of Brixton
3rd Verse [Pattern II] The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
1st Break : 8 measures with no bass then bass enters and plays [Pattern II]
4th Verse [Pattern II] You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come
5th Verse [Pattern II] You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
Chorus [Pattern II]
2nd Break [Pattern II]
1st Verse repeated [Pattern I]
3rd Break [Pattern I]
Chorus_2 [Pattern II] You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton
6th Verse [Pattern II] Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin'
As they have and as they have
Chorus [Pattern II]
