The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Come on, boys, you gotta choose your weapon

J-45 or AK-47

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

And the whole show it comes tumbling down

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

Come on, choose your weapons

J-45's or AK-47's

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

And the whole show it comes tumbling down

The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee

Join a band or join the army

It's a hell of a kickback from the grind

Kick back and blow your tiny mind

Three-page advert on the LA Times

They want religious fanatics with a military mind

They want from London to Bangkok

Moscow to Palestine

Hopping and praying in time

Come on, choose your weapons

J-45's or AK-47's

It's all aboard for Armageddon

And the whole damn show it comes tumbling down

The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee

Join a band or join the army

It's a hell of a kickback from the grind

Kick back and blow your tiny mind

How you're gonna provide for your vast idle family?

Start a band or start the army

London, Hamburg, and Palestine

Hopping and crawling and praying in time

Come on, you gotta choose your weapon

J-45 or AK-47

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven

And the whole show comes tumbling down
