When they kick at your front door
Are you gonna come
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?

When the law break-in
Are you gonna go
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row?

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh 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

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh oh, the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
Are you gonna come
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But, oh oh, the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh oh, guns of Brixton
Oh oh, guns of Brixton
(ad lib.)
