Havana Gang Brawl
The Zutons Lyrics

the cops are at the door
The police are present and seeking more than what they have found.

And you know that they want more
It's clear that the police are not satisfied with the current situation and want to escalate it.

They've got spears, made for arms
The police have acquired weapons to use against you.

Tried to lure you with their charms
The police are attempting to manipulate you.

You can hear the guns outside
The sound of gunfire can be heard from outside.

Watching riots with their eyes
The police are observing the chaos and violence.

As you move from wall to wall
You are navigating your surroundings cautiously.

Hear the siren from the gang brawl
The sirens from the conflict are audible.

Line the locals one by one
The people are being organized in a specific order.

Filling bullets with their guns
Preparing weapons for a potential attack.

Are you red, or if you're blue
Asking whether your allegiances are with the gang or the police.

Cause tonight their gonna find the truth
The truth about who supports which side will soon be revealed.

Take no prisoners today
No one will be taken into custody alive today.

For the future will be laid
The fate of the future will be decided in this moment.

One big city, one big town
Despite the differences between the two groups, they share the same community.

Everyone with the same crown
They all have a stake in the outcome of this conflict.

A doomed old day for engagements
Any plans made for this day will not come to fruition.

They have torn up your arrangements
Any plans that were made have been destroyed.

All the mothers, buying razors
Even the mothers are preparing for violence.

For the future will be dangerous
The upcoming future will be perilous.

You try desperately to leave
You are attempting to escape the danger.

But all the trains are dry for steam
The options for leaving are scarce or nonexistent.

All the taxis on their sides
Even the transportation has been disrupted or destroyed.

All the planes are burning bright
Air travel is not a viable option due to the turmoil occurring.

Only one option left
There is only one choice remaining to make.

To survive or you'll be dead
The option remaining is to live or die.

Do you hide now from the sin
You are forced to decide whether to hide from the violence or not.

Or do your blazing guns begin?
Your only other choice is to fight back.

All the shops are up for sale
The businesses have been abandoned or are being looted.

You might make it out on bail
There may be a chance for you to escape consequences if you're caught.

All the fathers shine today
The fathers are protecting their families during this perilous time.

Making sure that son's okay
They are taking care of their children and ensuring their safety.

Havana gang brawl
The conflict is referred to with the title phrase.

Oh where will you sleep tonight?
The future is uncertain and where you will rest your head is unknown.
