Come on boys you gotta choose your weapon
J-45 or AK-47
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show it comes tumbling down
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
Come on choose your weapons
J-45's or AK-47's
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show it comes tumbling down
The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee
Join a band or join the army
It's a hell of a kickback from the grind
Kick back and blow your tiny mind
Three-page advert on the LA Times
They want religious fanatics with a military mind
They want from London to Bangkok
Moscow to Palestine
Hoping and praying in time
Come on choose your weapons
J-45's or AK-47's
It's all aboard for Armageddon
And the whole damn show it comes tumbling down
The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee
Join a band or join the army
It's a hell of a kickback from the grind
Kick back and blow your tiny mind
How you're gonna provide for your vast idle family?
Start a band or start the army
London, Hamburg, and Palestine
Hoping and crawling and praying in time
Come on you gotta choose your weapon
J-45 or AK-47
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show comes tumbling down
J-45 or AK-47
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show it comes tumbling down
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
Come on choose your weapons
J-45's or AK-47's
There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show it comes tumbling down
The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee
Join a band or join the army
It's a hell of a kickback from the grind
Kick back and blow your tiny mind
Three-page advert on the LA Times
They want religious fanatics with a military mind
They want from London to Bangkok
Moscow to Palestine
Hoping and praying in time
Come on choose your weapons
J-45's or AK-47's
It's all aboard for Armageddon
And the whole damn show it comes tumbling down
The only way out of the dustbowl or the farm for thee
Join a band or join the army
It's a hell of a kickback from the grind
Kick back and blow your tiny mind
How you're gonna provide for your vast idle family?
Start a band or start the army

There's hell to pay at the gates of heaven
And the whole show comes tumbling down

"Hell To Pay At The Gates Of Heaven", che si rivolge direttamente direttamente a un terrorista fanatico religioso tra toni sarcastici e qualche verso graffiante, è stata scritta all'indomani degli attentati al Bataclan di Parigi dove Pete viveva all'epoca.
"Ragazzi, dovete scegliere la vostra arma": o la J-45, la famosa chitarra acustica Gibson utilizzata anche da John Lennon, o l'AK-47 il kalashnikov utilizzato dai terroristi e dalle milizie irregolari in tutto il mondo.
Entrate in una band o entrate nell'esercito, l'alternativa e chiara, e risulta chiaro anche quale delle due scelte la canzone chiaramente auspica...
