[00:10.193]Roland was a warrior
[00:12.586]From the Land of the Midnight Sun
[00:15.764]With a Thompson gun for hire
[00:18.971]Fighting to be done
[00:22.199]The deal was made in Denmark
[00:24.581]On a dark and stormy day
[00:27.528]So he set out for Biafra
[00:30.918]To join the bloody fray
[00:35.175]
[00:35.705]Through sixty-six and seven
[00:38.365]They fought the Congo war
[00:41.315]With their fingers on their triggers
[00:44.772]Knee-deep in gore
[00:47.708]For days and nights they battled
[00:50.352]The Bantu to their knees
[00:53.283]They killed to earn their living
[00:56.220]And to help out the Congolese
[00:58.603]
[01:00.959]Roland the Thompson gunner
[01:06.748]Roland the Thompson gunner
[01:10.476]
[01:14.204]His comrades fought beside him
[01:17.113]Van Owen and the rest
[01:20.037]But of all the Thompson gunners
[01:23.229]Roland was the best
[01:25.881]So the CIA decided
[01:28.797]They wanted Roland dead
[01:31.750]That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen
[01:34.957]Blew off Roland's head
[01:37.352]
[01:39.488]Roland the headless Thompson gunner
[01:44.280](Time, time, time for another peaceful war)
[01:46.928]Norway's bravest son
[01:48.534](But time stands still for Roland 'til he evens up the score)
[01:51.192]They can still see his headless body
[01:54.368]Stalking through the night
[01:57.287]In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
[02:03.400]In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
[02:09.251]
[02:16.167]Roland searched the continent
[02:18.547]For the man who'd done him in
[02:21.738]He found him in Mombasa
[02:24.684]In a barroom drinking gin
[02:27.866]Roland aimed his Thompson gun
[02:30.804]He didn't say a word
[02:33.441]But he blew Van Owen's body
[02:36.394]From there to Johannesburg
[02:39.048]
[02:41.439]Roland the headless Thompson gunner
[02:47.277]Roland the headless Thompson gunner
[02:53.392]Roland the headless Thompson gunner
[02:57.673](Talkin' about the man)
[02:59.532]Roland the headless Thompson gunner
[03:01.912]
[03:06.721]The eternal Thompson gunner
[03:09.891]Still wandering through the night
[03:13.351]Now it's ten years later
[03:16.011]But he still keeps up the fight
[03:19.187]In Ireland, in Lebanon
[03:22.118]In Palestine and Berkeley
[03:26.913]Patty Hearst heard the burst
[03:29.575]Of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it
