Loading...

roland was a warrior
from the land of the midnight sun
with a thompson gun for hire
fighting to be done

the deal was made in denmark
on a dark and stormy day
so he set out for biafra
to join the bl–dy fray

through ’66 and 7
they fought the congo war
with their fingers on their triggers
knee-deep in gore
the days and nights they battled
the bantu to their knees
they k!lled to earn their living
and to help out the congolese

roland the thompson gunner
roland the thompson gunner

his comrades fought beside him
van owen and the rest
but of all the thompson gunners
roland was the best
so the cia decided
they wanted roland dead
that son-of-a-b-tch van owen
blew off roland’s head

roland the headless thompson gunner
time time time for another week of war

norway’s bravest son
time stands still for roland til he evens up the score

they can still see his headless body
stalking through the night
in the muzzle flash of roland’s thompson gun
in the muzzle flash of roland’s thompson gun

roland searched the continent
for the man who’d done him in
he found him in momb-ssa
in a bar room drinkin’ gin
roland aimed his thompson gun
he didn’t say a word
but he blew van owen’s body
from there to johanasburg

roland the headless thompson gunner
roland the headless thompson gunner
roland the headless thompson gunner
talkin about the man
roland the headless thompson gunner

the eternal thompson gunner
still wanderin through the night
now it’s ten years later
but he still keeps up the fight
in ireland, in lebanon
in palastine and berkley
patty hurst
heard the burst
of roland’s thompson gun
and bought it
