The newspaper headlines got it wrong
They try to tell us that dope was too strong
But it ain't dope that threatens youth
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 but you had elected
Some foreign power but it turned sour
So shoot down your victim, you can't miss him
He'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 your victim, you can't miss him
He's a rung on the ladder for a higher status
Well no one suspected but you 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
