The Clash - Charlie Don't Surf lyrics

(The Clash)

CHORUS

Charlie don't surf and we think he should

Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good

Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma

Charlie's gonna be a napalm star

Everybody wants to rule the world

Must be something we get from birth

One truth is we never learn

Satellites will make space burn

We've been told to keep the strangers out

We don't like them starting to hang about

We don't like them over town

Across the world we're gonna blow them down

CHORUS

The reign of the super powers must be over

So many armies can't free the earth

Soon the rock will roll over

Africa is choking on their Coca Cola

It's a one a way street in a one horse town

One way people starting to brag around

You can laugh, put them down

These one way people gonna mow us down

CHORUS

Charlie don't surf he'll never learn

Charlie don't surf though he's got a gun

Charlie don't surf think that he should

Charlie don't surf we really think he should

Charlie don't surf

Charlie don't surf and we think he should

Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good

Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma

Charlie don't surf
