Walking around
Facing the ground
Sam Galton Junior
Was unpopular
Gunmaker by trade
But Quaker by faith
A walking paradox
And he knew it
Profiteering pacifist
And he knew it
A weapons grade hypocrite
And he knew it
In Steelhouse Lane
They would help the campaign
For the British Army against Napoleon
The guns Sam made
Would help the slave trade
Build up the empire
And make him a rich man
Build up an empire
From Birmingham
Build up an empire
With no setting sun
Build up an empire
On violence, and gunfire and inconsistent morals
