"Dope For Guns" lyrics - THE RUTS

The newspaper headlines got it wrong
They tried to tell us the dope is too strong
But it ain't dope that threatens you
They're selling dope for guns, that's the truth

Dope for guns, it ain't fun
Put you on your knees for the Lebanese
Whichever way you please, you're on your knees
Dope for guns, dope for guns

No one suspected that you had elected
Some foreign power, but it turned sour
So shoot down the victim, you can't miss him
It's a rung on the ladder for a higher status

Dope for guns, it ain't fun
Put you on your knees for the Lebanese
Whichever way you please, you're on your knees
Dope for guns, dope for guns

Put you on your knees for the lebanese
Put you on your knees

Shoot down the victim, you can't miss 'em,
It's a rung on the ladder for a higher status
Well no one suspected that you had elected
Some foreign power, but it turned sour

Dope for guns, it ain't fun
Put you on your knees for the Lebanese
Whichever way you please, you're on your knees
Dope for guns, dope for guns

Dope, for guns
Dope, for guns
Dope, for guns
Dope, for guns
