The Clash - Dictator lyrics

rate me

(Strummer/Rhodes)

Yes I am the dictator the more guns I got the better

Yes I am the liquidator I carry the old Beretta

You know there once was freedom

You know how dangerous that can be

The people used to dance & sing

& they used to run wild in the streets

But now I am the voice

Howling from your radio

From my armour plated Cadillac

You'll hear what I say goes

Yes I am the dictator I satisfy the U.S. team

I always do my killing in the woods & keep the city gutters clean

Cos I need a few more dollars

For my fighter pilot to be free

To dive bomb on the population

If they go running wild in the streets

Yes I am that voice...etc

Yes I am the crusador I spent twenty years in exile

But now I am the invader & I'm never never gonna die

Yes I am the dictator my name is on your ballot sheet

But until my box has your cross you know the form is incomplete

And you know........etc
