LYRICS
There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight
And the rage is growing
You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors
You have torn all the joy from my heart and the blood is showing
The only beat you allow around here is the beat of war
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Don't go out tonight with that smile or you might get arrested
Get a license for that grin or they'll lock you away
If you show that you're happy inside then you're gonna get busted
The only law we allow around here is an organised grey
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
What are you going to do if the muscle won't move
They are blocking the light, blocking the light
How many words will you waste on a Terreblanche
Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's have a party
What are you going to do if the muscle won't move
They are blocking the light, blocking the light
How many words will you waste on a Terreblanche
Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's have a party
And you can bring your gun
And you can bring your dogs
And you can bring your shiny new helicopter
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Let's have a party
Bring your gun
