作词 : Jones, Strummer

Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world

And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl

Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands

Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how

Death or glory becomes just another story

Death or glory becomes just another story

'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll

Grabs the mic to tell us he'll die before he's sold

But I believe in this and it's been tested by research

He who ****s nuns will later join the church

Death or glory becomes just another story

Death or glory becomes just another story

MUSICAL INTERLUDE

Fear in the gun sights,

they say lie low

You say ok,

don’t wanna play the show

No other thinking,

"Was it death or glory now?"

Playing the blues for pennies,

sure looks better now

Death or glory just another story

Death or glory just another story

From every dingy basement on every dingy street

Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat

That's just the beat of time-the beat that must go on

If you’ve been trying for years we already heard your song

Death or glory becomes just another story

Death or glory just another story

Gonna launch a long way

Fight a long time

Got to travel over mountains

Got to travel over seas

We gonna fight you brother

We gonna fight 'til you lose

We gonna raise trouble

We gonna raise hell

We gonna fight you brother

Raise hell

Death or glory becomes just another story

Death or glory becomes just another story

Death or glory just another story

Death or glory becomes just another story
