[ti:The Boy With The Gun]
[ar:David Sylvian]
[al:Everything And Nothing]
[offset:0]
[00:18.66]He knows well his wicked ways
[00:22.96]A course of bitterness
[00:26.70]
[00:27.32]A grudge held from his childhood days
[00:31.02]As if life had loved him less
[00:35.51]
[00:36.13]Reading down his list of names
[00:39.69]He ticks them one by one
[00:44.49]
[00:45.18]He points the barrel at the sky
[00:49.36]Firing shots off at the sun
[00:53.98]
[00:57.91]"I am the law and I am the King
[01:05.46]
[01:06.58]I am the wisdom, listen to me sing"
[01:11.76]He carves out the victim's names
[01:15.06]In the wooden butt of the gun
[01:19.18]
[01:20.05]He leans well back against the tree
[01:23.92]He knows his Kingdom's come
[01:28.09]
[01:28.99]He'll breath a sigh self satisfied
[01:32.48]The work is in good hands
[01:37.23]
[01:38.04]He shoots the coins into the air
[01:41.22]And follows where the money lands
[01:46.52]
[01:50.71]"I am the law and I am the King
[01:57.76]
[01:59.43]I am the wisdom, listen to me sing"
[02:04.55]He pauses at the city's edge
[02:07.73]Of hellfire and of stone
[02:12.61]He summons up the devil there
[02:16.29]To give him courage of his own
[02:21.04]He'll free the sinners of deceit
[02:25.34]They'll hear his name and run
[02:29.96]
[02:30.76]His justice is his own reward
[02:34.76]Measured out beneath the sun
[02:39.06]
[02:43.44]"I am the law and I am the King
[02:49.66]
[02:52.15]I am the wisdom, listen to me sing"
[02:57.96]And my name's on the gun
