Sting - Demolition Man

Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven) - Live At Villa Manin, Cudriopo, Italy/1993

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven

This is a story of seven brothers
We had the same father but different mothers
We keep together like a family should
Roaming the country for the common good

It came to pass one fateful day
We found ourselves down Mexico way
The town, the mayor, the PTA
Pleading on their knees with us all to stay

We'd only stopped for a few burritos
They told us of the trouble with los banditos
A poor little town in need of aid
My brothers and me had never been afraid

The age of chivalry is not dead
Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed
There'd be a bride for every man
Who chased away the evil gang

For love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love, love, love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood
Woo-hoo

The outcome was predictable
Our banditos were despicable
Our blood, we've lost a dozen litres
A small price to pay for los señoritas

The town mayor was happy, but his face was glum
The maidens numbered only one
There weren't seven brides for seven brothers
I knew I had to get rid of the others, though

Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love, love, love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood

Mother told me I was the clever one
The seventh son of a seventh son
It all ended so happily
I settled down with the family

I look forward to a better day
Ethical stuff never got in my way
And though there used to be brothers seven
The other six are singing in heaven

Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love, love, love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood

Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than blood
Love, love, love is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in flood
Love is a big fat river in flood
Love is a big fat river in flood
Woo-hoo

This is a story of seven brothers
We had the same father but different mothers
We keep together like a family should
Roaming the country for the common good

It came to pass one fateful day
We found ourselves down Mexico way
The town, the mayor, the PTA
Pleading on their knees with us all to stay

We'd only stopped for a few burritos
But they told us of the trouble with los banditos
A poor little town in need of aid
My brothers and me had never been afraid

The age of chivalry is not dead
Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed
There'd be a bride for every man
Who chased away the evil gang

For love is stronger than justice
Love, love, love, love is stronger than justice
Love is stronger than justice
Love, love, love, love is stronger than justice
I say

Grazie
Allora buona sera
On guitar, Signore Dominic Miller
On batteria, Signore Vincenzo Colaiuta
Vincenzo, Vincenzo, Vincenzo...
Basta
On keyboard, signore David Sancious
