Stay Free

The Clash · The Story Of The Clash, Vol. 1 [1988]

We met when we were at school

Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools

The teacher says were dumb, were only having fun

You know we piss off everyone in the classroom



When we got thrown out and left without much fuss

And weekends, we'd go dancing down the strip on the bus

You always made me laugh, got me in bad fights

Play me pool all night, smoking menthol



I practice daily in my room

You were down the crowd planning your next move

Go on a nikking spree, hit the wrong guy

Each of you get three years in Brixton



I did my very best to write

How was butlins, were the screws to tight?

When you lot get out, were gonna hit the town

We'll burn it fucking down to a cinder



Cause years have passed and things have changed

I'm moving anywere I wanna go

And I'll never forget the feeling I got

When I herd that you got home



And I'll never forget the smile on my face

Cause I knew were you would be

And if your in the crowd tonight then have a drink on me



Go easy, step lightly, stay free
