Tommy gun, you ain’t happy ‘less you got one
Tommy gun, ain’t gonna shoot the place up just for fun

Maybe he wannna die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he’s gonna get it

Tommy gun, you better trip it down for a customs run
Tommy gun, waiting at the airport ‘till kingdom come

An’ we can watch you make it on the nine o’clock news
Standing at Palestine, lighting a fuse
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it

Tommy gun
Tommy gun

Tommy gun, a-you’ll be dead when you war is won
Tommy gun, but did you have to gun down everyone?

I can see you kill or be killed
A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it

Tommy gun, a-you can be a hero in an age of none
Tommy gun, I’m cutting out your picture from page one

I’m gonna a get a jacket just like yours
Give my false support to your cause
Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it

All right

Okay, so let’s agree about the price
An’ make it one jet airliner for ten prisoners

And boats and tanks and planes, it's your game
Kings and queens and generals, learn in your name

And I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
And if death comes so cheap, then the same goes for life
