AK-47

AK-47
Once upon a time the AK-47 provided
some solace to anyone
who defied the empire and who dared
to march and hold a gun
I remember walking through the jungle looking up
through my new defoliated roof;
Everybody said : "Ooh, run for cover"
but I stood my ground cos I knew:
There was nothing that could catch us
there was nothing that could hurt us
yeh, we'd inherit the earth
As long as we kept
that hatred in our heart
as long as we could
strike first
With our
AK-47
With the power of
AK-47
Yeh, now things have changed
it seems so far away
that the war was something we could win.
They shoot us from Tampa
out by the pool
as they drink gin and have a swim.
Well there's satellites that see us
no matter where we are
And weapons that we can't understand
Microwaves to burn us
and sound waves to hurt us
from a robot plane-
'Made in Japan'
But I still believe in
AK-47
I'll never leave my
AK-47
Yeh, I've still got the hatred in my heart
it's the only thing that keeps me alive
Most my friends deserted,
some of them betrayed us,
lots of them I watched die.
But there's one friend I've kept
through all the wars you slept through
he's been faithful,
he's never cried.
Always up for fighting;
killing that invader-
The AK-47 by my side.
