"The Guns of Brixton" is a song by The Clash on their third album, London Calling, released in 1979. It was written and sung by bassist Paul Simonon, who grew up in Brixton, south London. It has a strong reggae influence, reflecting the culture of the area, with a knowing nod to the classic reggae gangster film, The Harder They Come. A somewhat heavier, faster version than the one found on London Calling appeared on the live compilation From Here to Eternity: Live, released in 1999.
The song pre-dates the race riots that took place in the 1980s in Brixton but the lyrics depict the feelings of discontent that were building due to heavy-handedness of the police that lead to the riots, the recession and other problems at that time.

The Clash were anti fascist and Joe Strummer was so strong against racism and right wing politics. Those who try to recruit the music of the Clash for right wing agendas are revealing their ignorance of the great band's music and if Joe were around today, would condemn them. RIP Joe. Love you.8 years ago

When they kick at your front door, how you gonna come?With your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gunWhen the law break in, how you gonna go?Shot down on the pavement or waiting on death rowYou can crush us, you can bruise usBut you'll have to answer to, oh, the guns of BrixtonThe money feels good and your life you like it wellBut surely your time will come as in heaven, as in hellYou see, he feels like Ivan, born under the Brixton sunHis game is called survivin' at the end of the harder they comeYou know it means no mercy, they caught him with a gunNo need for the Black Maria, goodbye to the Brixton sunYou can crush us, you can bruise usYes, even shoot us, but oh, the guns of Brixton9 years ago
