Lyrics
At the Point Of a Gun words and music by Kim Wilson (Alador) You’ll treat your children better,you will be better men Nothing will be denied to you, you can be our new friend The power and the glory the kingdom and the keys The world is the beginning now it’s waiting on its knees It is in your best interest to be a favored son And to receive our blessing at the point of a gun Did you awake this morning with missionary zeal? Do you need to tell others how they’re supposed to feel? Everything can be explained with the proper point of view And no one is in error if they agree with you We are marching forward shouting all for one To give them all their freedom at the point of a gun This money’s just a token of our great esteem This road is a beginning to a new and brighter dream You can be like everyone in our gleaming land Where no one’s ever hungry and we all lend a hand In this peaceful valley where the healing waters run You can receive this bounty at the point of a gun From the moment of creation it was our lot to rule Don’t be among those left adrift don’t be a cautious fool Every ill is treated every worry eased No one is mistreated every grievance is appeased Everything that can be, is always being done To give you absolution at the point of a gun
