about

The Jet Black Berries powerful contemporary psychedelic rock sound is firmly grounded in the band’s illustrious history. The band originally gained notoriety as one of the groups that contributed to the infamous “Return of the Living Dead” soundtrack along with the Cramps, the Damned and the legendary Roky Erickson. The Jet Black Berries released 3 albums in the mid to late 80’s on Restless and Enigma Records and were the darlings of what was then known as psychedelic alternative rock. Their records charted high on CMJ charts. The band broke up in 1989.....but zombies are hard to kill.......... The band has risen from the crypt one more time to release some new tunes that we hope you all will enjoy and receive it in the spirit in which it was given.

lyrics

God with a Gun (radio edit) – Jet Black Berries, words and music by Roy Stein

Are you sure that this is song
You’re ready to sing
If God with a gun is love
Let’s make him king

Drag him on out of the stratosphere
Till we get done what we need down here
How can you lose when you love
All that you fear

Our time is now
Someday has arrived
Only the lost will survive
When the lights of the city turn dark

Are you sure that this is a game
You’re ready to play
Martyr and murder a soul
And then walk away

Conjure up the truth from the middle of a lie
Fall into a trance when the wrong words rhyme
Tear out the sun from the sky
To bring on the night

Our time is now
Someday has arrived
Only the lost will survive
When the lights of the city turn dark

It’s God with a gun
God with a gun
I’m God with a gun
God with a gun
One with a gun
