Lyrics for Song: Clampdown
Lyrics for Album: London Calling 30th Anniversary Addition [2009]
1-2-3-4
Hey, hey
Ooh
The kingdom is ransacked
The jewels all taken back
And the chopper descends
They're hidden in the back
With a message on a half-baked tape
With the spool going round
Saying I'm back here in this place
And I could cry
And there's smoke you could click on
What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the Clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the Clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the unbelievers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers
The judge said five to ten-but I say double that again
I'm not working for the Clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the Clampdown
Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
D'you know that you can use it?
The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
You grow up and you calm down
You're working for the Clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
You're working for the Clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
And make you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
And make your first kill now
In these days of evil presidentes
Working for the Clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
For working for the Clampdown
But ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
And I've given away no secrets
Who's barmy now?
