Song lyrics
Bombs goin off in Sierra Leone
Taken more shots than Karl Malone
Battle looms, your doom, injustice entombed
Who got the diamonds? Who gonna find them?
Who gonna mine them when the time comes?
Diamonds and Guns, Diamonds and Guns

[chorus:]
it's a wicked world that we live in it's cruel
and unforgiving
it's a wicked world that we live in it's cruel
and unforgiving

woohoo

woohoo

Knock, knock, knock, who's that? It's Momma, son
Lookin' for the bitch who took the money and run
Now the daylight's gone and there's no more fun
And who's the fuckin' bitch who stole all the heroin?
Heroin, heroin, it's all gone
Smoked it all up, and now you got none
And now you look around and that's not the plan
This is not what you had in mind

I shot in heaven, now I cry
No one lives forever, in fact we all die
From those who bust shots to those who stuff cops
To those who serve rocks on all the hard blocks

Every last soul must pay the last toll
In the dice game of life, who gets the last roll?
Is it the one with the suit? The one with the sack?
The one who hides behind his fuckin' gun and his badge?
Negative outlook? Well that's how I'm livin'
And like he said, it's a wicked world we live in
It's a wicked world we live in

woohoo

woohoo

I'm wiggin out, flippin' out, hearts is what I'm rippin' out
I'm slippin' out, I'm dippin' out, killin's what I'm livin' out
Victim, let me pick 'em out, spin and let me whip it out
Gat to your face with the fuckin' bullets stickin' out
Missin' out, diss and bout, blood's what you're pissin' out
84 I'm Crazy Horse, shootin' up, I'm illin' out
Rippin' out, I'm trippin' out, different now, I'm pimpin' out
any color at my belt and ouch while theyre clippin out
Criminal I'm hittin' out, in L.A. no gettin' out
2 1 3, pack your P, fly wicked style
Listen now, I'm sinnin' out, a 6-pack I'm sippin' out

[chorus]

woohoo

woohoo

You'll probably be pleased to hear I never heard it on no advert, I heard it in a club not long ago and since then I've been trying to find what it was called and who it was by and I'VE FOUND IT!!!!!! Yay! Now I'm gonna have to go and find some albums of theirs to put on my iPod. I just hope the rest of their songs are this good! I'm dead proud I finded it! BTW it's a great song and they should play it more often now! Bye bye

I LOVE THIS SONG!! I heard it on a cd mix I got from a local radiostation in 2002 and I finally got the actual cd a few months ago! I think the commercial they put it on can burn!! it's totally degrading the song!!

Transplants don't play punk and there's not such a thing as "being punk enough"... It doesn't matter who plays in the band, even if Duane Peters, Roger Miret, Animal & Steve Diggle were in it, I'd still think they don't play punk...

What I don't like is that they are becoming way too commercial and that's gonna make that their other bands, like Lars Frederiksen & The Bastards, Devil's Brigade... become very popular too, and I don't really want that..

oh, come on gucylucy, don't you think it becomes a little repetitive without the lyrics? That's absurd.

Yeah, it is Tim Armstrong from Rancid. And if you look closer, it's Travis from Blink 182 on drums as well.
Great tune, tis one of those I play when I'm getting ready to go out

i don't know whether it is punk or not, but it mostly appeals to punks, so i guess that pretty much MAKES it punk, even if it weren't. Does it make sense?

hmm, glad to see they have so many fans. It doesn't really come as a surprise, as eeach one of my friends that heard the song fell in love with them instantly, even though they didn't normally listen punk music. As for me, i first heard Tall Cans in the Air, loved it (it was something new and it had tim armstrong in it) then got their album and been listening to it ever since.

March '05? Kick ass, my birthday. I've heard it somewhere before the commercial. I think it was in the Guy Ritchie movie, Snatch. I don't have the movie and it's been a while, but the piano sounds familiar. It may not be punk, but it does have punk in it, I absolutely love the punk-brit-hip-hop mix.
