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
