rate me

(strummer/jones)<br><br>Midnight to six man<br>For the first time from jamaica<br>Dillinger and leroy smart<br>Delroy wilson, your cool operator<br><br>Ken boothe for uk pop reggae<br>With backing bands sound systems<br>And if they've got anything to say<br>There's many black ears here to listen<br><br>But it was four tops all night with encores from stage right<br>Charging from the bass knives to the treble<br>But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel<br>Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel<br><br>Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack<br>'cos it won't get you anywhere<br>Fooling with your guns<br>The british army is waiting out there<br>An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons<br><br>White youth, black youth<br>Better find another solution<br>Why not phone up robin hood<br>And ask him for some wealth distribution<br><br>Punk rockers in the uk<br>They won't notice anyway<br>They're all too busy fighting<br>For a good place under the lighting<br><br>The new groups are not concerned<br>With what there is to be learned<br>They got burton suits, ha you think it's funny<br>Turning rebellion into money<br><br>All over people changing their votes<br>Along with their overcoats<br>If adolf hitler flew in today<br>They'd send a limousine anyway<br><br>I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf<br>Who looks so sick in the sun<br>I'm the white man in the palais<br>Just lookin' for fun<br><br>I'm only<br>Looking for fun
