Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner (Live Version) - Warren Zevon[00:00:00]
Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun[00:03:42]
With a Thompson gun for hire fighting to be done[00:03:48]
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day[00:03:55]
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray[00:04:01]
Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war[00:04:09]
With their fingers on their triggers knee-deep in gore[00:04:15]
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees[00:04:22]
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese[00:04:28]
Roland the Thompson gunner [00:04:38]
Roland the Thompson gunner [00:04:44]
His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest[00:04:52]
But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best[00:04:59]
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead[00:05:05]
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head[00:05:12]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner[00:05:21]
Norway's bravest son[00:05:27]
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night[00:05:33]
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun[00:05:40]
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun[00:05:47]
Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in[00:06:01]
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin[00:06:08]
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word[00:06:15]
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg[00:06:21]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner [00:06:30]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner [00:06:37]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner [00:06:44]
Talkin' about the man [00:06:48]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner [00:06:51]
The eternal Thompson gunner still wandering through the night[00:10:11]
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight[00:10:20]
In Ireland in Lebanon in Palestine and Berkeley[00:10:27]
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it[00:10:50]
