The song, Roeland, is about a military man who was a sniper in WWII. After the war was over, Roeland continued doing what he did the best.

Influence listening to Warren Zevon after his passing and i was also practicing barre chords on my electric guitar.

Hey, hey-O, Roeland and his gun
Hey, hey-O, Roeland is the man to know.

Roeland is a killer and he does it for a living
And there?s killins to be done.
He?ll jump into the night and put bombs in your sky
Ol? roeland is the man to know.

Hey, hey-O, Roeland and his gun.
Hey, hey-O, Roeland is the man to know

Roeland he was born with a Thompson in his hand
And it?s with him everywhere he goes
He?ll jump into the jungle he?ll fight in your town
Roeland is the man to know.

Hey, hey-O, Roeland and his gun
Hey, hey-O, Roeland is the man to know.


Hey, hey-O, Roeland and his gun.

And they?ll do what ever your needin done.

Hey, hey-O, Roeland and his gun
