Roland The Headless Thompson Gunne - Warren Zevon (瓦伦·泽冯)[00:00:00]
Roland was a warrior[00:00:09]
From the Land of the Midnight Sun[00:00:11]
With a Thompson gun for hire[00:00:15]
Fighting to be done[00:00:18]
The deal was made in Denmark[00:00:21]
On a dark and stormy day[00:00:24]
So he set out for Biafra[00:00:27]
To join the bloody fray[00:00:30]
Through sixty six and seven[00:00:34]
They fought the Congo war[00:00:37]
With their fingers on their triggers[00:00:40]
Knee deep in gore[00:00:43]
For days and nights they battled[00:00:46]
The Bantu to their knees[00:00:49]
They killed to earn their living[00:00:52]
And to help out the Congolese[00:00:55]
Roland the Thompson gunner[00:01:00]
Roland the Thompson gunner[00:01:06]
His comrades fought beside him[00:01:13]
Van Owen and the rest[00:01:16]
But of all the Thompson gunners[00:01:19]
Roland was the best[00:01:22]
So the CIA decided[00:01:25]
They wanted Roland dead[00:01:28]
That son of a b**ch Van Owen[00:01:31]
Blew off Roland's head[00:01:34]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner[00:01:38]
Time time time for another peaceful war[00:01:44]
Norway's bravest son[00:01:46]
But time stands still for Roland 'til he evens up the score[00:01:46]
They can still see his headless body[00:01:49]
Stalking through the night[00:01:53]
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun[00:01:56]
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun[00:02:02]
Roland searched the continent[00:02:15]
For the man who'd done him in[00:02:17]
He found him in Mombasa[00:02:20]
In a barroom drinking gin[00:02:23]
Roland aimed his Thompson gun[00:02:26]
He didn't say a word[00:02:29]
But he blew Van Owen's body[00:02:32]
From there to Johannesburg[00:02:35]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner[00:02:40]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner[00:02:46]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner[00:02:52]
Talkin' about the man[00:02:56]
Roland the headless Thompson gunner[00:02:58]
The eternal Thompson gunner[00:03:05]
Still wandering through the night[00:03:08]
Now it's ten years later[00:03:12]
But he still keeps up the fight[00:03:14]
In Ireland in Lebanon[00:03:17]
In Palestine and Berkeley[00:03:21]
Patty Hearst heard the burst[00:03:25]
Of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it[00:03:28]
