rate me

(strummer/jones)<br><br>What are we gonna do now? <br>Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a jew? <br>'cause they're working for the clampdown<br>They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!<br>When we're working for the clampdown<br>We will teach our twisted speech<br>To the young believers<br>We will train our blue-eyed men<br>To be young believers<br><br>The judge said five to ten-but I say double that again<br>I'm not working for the clampdown<br>No man born with a living soul<br>Can be working for the clampdown<br>Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall<br>How can you refuse it? <br>Let fury have the hour, anger can be power<br>D'you know that you can use it? <br><br>The voices in your head are calling<br>Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming<br>Only a fool would think someone could save you<br>The men at the factory are old and cunning<br>You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'<br>It's the best years of your life they want to steal<br><br>You grow up and you calm down<br>You're working for the clampdown<br>You start wearing the blue and brown<br>You're working for the clampdown<br>So you got someone to boss around<br>It makes you feel big now<br>You drift until you brutalize<br>You made your first kill now<br><br>In these days of evil presidentes<br>Working for the clampdown<br>But lately one or two has fully paid their due<br>For working for the clampdown<br>But ha! gitalong! gitalong!<br><br>And I've given away no secrets<br>Who's barmy now?
