Dope for guns - The Ruts

The newspaper headlines got it wrong

They try to tell us that dope was too strong

But it ain’t dope that threatens youth

They’re selling dope for guns, that’s the truth

Dope for guns, it ain’t fun

Put you on your knees for the Lebanese

Whichever way you please, you’re on your knees

Dope for guns, dope for guns

No one suspected but you had elected

Some foreign power but it turned sour

So shoot down your victim, you can’t miss him

He’s a rung on the ladder for a higher status

Dope for guns, it ain’t fun

Put you on your knees for the Lebanese

Whichever way you please, you’re on your knees

Dope for guns, dope for guns

Put you on your knees

For the Lebanese

Put you on your knees

Shoot down your victim, you can’t miss him

He’s a rung on the ladder for a higher status

Well, no one suspected but you elected

Some foreign power but it turned sour

Dope for guns, it ain’t fun

Put you on your knees for the Lebanese

Whichever way you please, you’re on your knees

Dope for guns, dope for guns

Dope for guns

Dope for guns

Dope for guns

Dope for guns…
