the death of david gundy - dave steel lyrics

when the car thief shot the copper
they were bringing in the flowers
all the boys were standing ’round in uniform
and the best of information was the car thief had the better
of a contest where the odds were three to one
the conference was restless as they planned the new campaign
they were talkin’ there of things bеyond their knowing
and when the sun wеnt down the conversation turned to guns and money
and they little knew the seeds that they were sowin’…

in the hinterland a breeze sprang up and everybody sang
as if there was no reason in the world to fear
and the people watched the sunset as it fell into the sea
and there were no unnecessary tears
down the hill the boys were drinkin’, they were fingering their guns
their minds had been made up for them that day
and as they strode towards the settlement i heard the bl**dy rumble
and i knew that nothing could stand in their way…

in the darkness he was sleepin’ when they busted down the door
in the best t.v. tradition they all knew
and in rushed all the cowboys armed and angry on their mission
and they knew just exactly what to do
if someone’s breaking down the door in the middle of the night
you don’t lie there still and let the thing go on
so he rose to take good care of it
unarmed and truly innocent
staring down the barrel of a shotgun…
at the trial they said the k!ller’s finger slipped upon the trigger
that the murder was an accidental one
that a trained police k!ller made a simple little error
and that david gundy died upon his gun
well now a circus is a circus
and the clowns are still at large
and the k!lling can be practiced by the law
but if bloodshed begets bloodshed
then i wouldn’t want to be
sleepin’ quiet behind that k!ller’s door

if bloodshed begets bloodshed then i wouldn’t want to be
sleepin’ quiet behind that k!ller’s door…
