Clash lyrics |
|
/ allen ginsberg lyrics |
|
/ do the worm on the accropolis |
|
/ slamdance the cosmopolis |
|
/ enlighten the populace |
|
Hungry darkness of living |
|
Who will thirst in the pit? |
|
/ hooked in metropolis |
|
She spent a lifetime deciding |
|
How to run from it |
|
/ addicts of metropolis |
|
Once fate had a witness |
|
And the years seemed like friends |
|
/ girlfriends |
|
Her babies can dream |
|
But dreams begin like the end |
|
/ shot into eternity |
|
/ methadone kitty |
|
/ iron serenity |
|
Ghetto defendant |
|
It is heroin pity |
|
Not tear gas nor baton charge |
|
That stops you taking the city |
|
/ strung out committee |
|
Walled out of the city |
|
Clubbed down from uptown |
|
Sprayed pest from the nest |
|
Run out to barrio town |
|
/the guards are itchy |
|
Forced to watch at the feast |
|
Then sweep up the night |
|
Flipped pieces of coin |
|
/ broken bottles |
|
Exchanged for birthright |
|
/ grafted in a jiffy |
|
/ strung out committee |
|
/ sitting pretty |
|
/ graphed in a jiffy |
|
/ no pity, pretty |
|
The ghetto prince of gutter poets |
|
Was bounced out of the room |
|
/ jean arthur rimbaud |
|
By the bodyguards of greed |
|
For disturbing the tomb |
|
/ 1873 |
|
His words like flamethrowers |
|
/ paris commune |
|
Burnt the ghettos in their chests |
|
His face was painted whiter |
|
And he was laid to rest |
|
/ died in marseille |
|
/ buried in charleville |
|
/ shut up |
|
Soap floods oil in water |
|
All churn in the wake |
|
On the great ship of progress |
|
The crew can't find the brake |
|
Klaxons are blaring |
|
The admiral snores command |
|
Submarines boil in oceans |
|
While the armies fight with suns |
