Barrel of the Gun

In a strange land
far from these shores
lay two man and a woman
killed by the law
In no matter what country
under the sun
you can't meter justice
from the barrel of a gun
A car bomb they say
the S.A.S. on offense
shot in the back
makes no difference
shoot to kill
'til both sides have their fill
'til both sides have their martyrs
and all the kids have no fathers
'til you mothers have no sons
and the battle it is won
when both sides
they have lost
all the blood that it cost
