Intro

1st Verse [Pattern I]   When they kick at your front door
                        How you gonna come?
                        With your hands on your head
                        Or on the trigger of your gun

2nd Verse [Pattern I]   When the law break in
                        How you gonna go?
                        Shot down on the pavement
                        Or waiting in death row 

Chorus [Pattern II]     You can crush us
                        You can bruise us
                        But you'll have to answer to
                        Oh-the guns of Brixton

3rd Verse [Pattern II]  The money feels good
                        And your life you like it well
                        But surely your time will come
                        As in heaven, as in hell

1st Break : 8 bars with no bass then bass enters and plays [Pattern II]

4th Verse [Pattern II]  You see, he feels like Ivan
                        Born under the Brixton sun
                        His game is called survivin'
                        At the end of the harder they come

5th Verse [Pattern II]  You know it means no mercy
                        They caught him with a gun
                        No need for the Black Maria
                        Goodbye to the Brixton sun

Chorus [Pattern II]

2nd Break [Pattern II]

1st Verse repeated [Pattern I]

3rd Break [Pattern I]

Chorus_2 [Pattern II]   You can crush us
                        You can bruise us
                        Yes, even shoot us
                        But oh-the guns of Brixton

6th Verse [Pattern II]  Shot down on the pavement
                        Waiting in death row
                        His game was survivin'
                        As they have and as they have

Chorus [Pattern II]
