Swedish Guns

What's that in the air?
The Swedish guns
And what is that right there?
That's Swedish guns
Let's have a second look
It's Swedish guns
Must be by the book
It's Swedish guns
And guess what came to town
The Swedish guns
And guess what burned it down
The Swedish guns
And every life they took
With Swedish guns
Now everywhere you look
It's Swedish guns
When you want something done
When you want something done
Just take me by the hand
We'll make them understand
If you want something done
Get Swedish guns
Take care of someone
Get Swedish guns
You need a helping hand?
Get Swedish guns
Secure a piece of land
Get Swedish guns
They should turn around
The Swedish guns
And force us to the ground
With Swedish guns
Cause who can be to blame
For Swedish guns?
A clue, it's in the name
A diabolic shame
When you want something done
When you want something done
Just take me by the hand
We'll make them understand
