Sting - Love Is Stronger Than Justice Lyrics
This is a story of seven brothersWe had the same father but different mothersWe keep together like a family shouldRoaming the country for the common goodIt came to pass one faithful dayWe found ourselves down mexico wayThe town, the mayor, the p.t.a.Pleading on their knees with us all to stayWed only stopped for a few burritosBut they told us of the trouble with los banditosA poor little town in need of aidMy brothers and me had never been afraidThe age of chivalry is not deadLomesome nights in a coyboy bedThered be a bride for every manWho chased away the evil gangLove is stronger than justiceLove is a big fat river in floodThe outcome was predictableOur banditos were despicableOf blood we lost a dozen litresA small price to pay for las senoritasThe town mayor was happy but his face was glumThe maidens numbered only oneBut there werent seven brides for seven brothersI knew I had to get rid of the othersLove is stronger than justiceLove is thicker than bloodLove is stronger than justiceLove is a big fat river in floodMother told me I was the clever oneThe seventh son of a seventh sonIt all ended so happilyI settled down with the familyI look forward to a better dayBut ethical stuff never got in my wayAnd though there used to be brothers sevenThere other six are singing in heavenLove is stronger than justiceLove is a big fat river in flood
