Lyrics Peter Doherty – Hell To Pay At The Gates Of Heaven

Come on boys you gotta choose your weapon
J-45 or AK-47
There’s hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show it comes tumbling down

Come on choose your weapons
J-45’s or AK-47’s
There’s hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show it comes tumbling down

The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee
Join a band or join the army
It’s a hell of a kickback from the grind
Kick back and blow your tiny mind

It took three-page advert on the LA Times
They want religious fanatics with a military mind
They want from London to Bangkok
Moscow to Palestine
Hoping and praying in time

Come on choose your weapons
J-45’s or AK-47’s
It’s all aboard for Armageddon
And the whole damn show it comes tumbling down

The only way out of the ghetto or the farm for thee
Join a band or join the army
It’s a hell of a kickback from the grind
Kick back and blow your tiny mind

How you’re gonna provide for your vast idle family?
Start a band or start the army
London, Hamburg, and Palestine
Hoping and crawling and praying in time

Come on you gotta choose your weapon
J-45 or AK-47
There’s hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show comes tumbling down
