David Sylvian - The Boy With The Gun Lyrics
He knows well his wicked waysA course of bitternessA grudge held from his childhood daysAs if life had loved him lessReading down his list of namesHe ticks them one by oneHe points the barrel at the skyFiring shots off at the sunI am the law and I am the kingI am the wisdom, listen to me singHe carves out the victims namesIn the wooden butt of the gunHe leans well back against the treeHe knows his kingdoms comeHell breath a sigh self satisfiedThe work is in good handsHe shoots the coins into the airAnd follows where the money landsI am the law and I am the kingI am the wisdom, listen to me singHe pauses at the citys edgeOf hellfire and of stoneHe summons up the devil thereTo give him courage of his ownHell free the sinners of deceitTheyll hear his name and runHis justice is his own rewardMeasured out beneath the sunI am the law and I am the kingI am the wisdom, listen to me singAnd my names on the gun
