Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - At The Border, Guy lyrics

rate me

We built the buildings of the new city

Out of the broken down peoples

And we built the new languages

Out of courtesy and velocity

Somebody got to have propulsion

Push the envelope

Extra, extra - read all about it

Common sense makes a comeback

Extra, extra - late in the distant city

There are seventeen burned out cars in the valley

And, "Boom," goes the refinery

Where do nomads go when the Dow Jones falls too low

Crazy world

Lee says forty nine

We tried to get across the river

Ringo, Bobo, el numero - holy cow

At Leek town hall tonight

Get me a taxi, godamn

Take me to a reggae city

I'm always reporting for you

In the dangerous bureau

This is McNally, badge forty-nine, calling in

I'm with Mike Flynn

Taxi, godamn

Ringo
