Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven)

Love Is Stronger Than Justice (The Munificent Seven) - Sting

Lyrics by：Sting

Composed by：Sting

This is a story of seven brothers

We had a 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 is thicker than blood

Love love love is stronger than justice

Love is a big fat river in flood

The outcome was predictable

Our banditos were despicable

Of blood we lost a dozen litres

A small price to pay for los senoritas

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

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

But ethical stuff never got in my way

And though there used to be brothers seven

The other six are singing in heaven

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

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
