The Clash — Clampdown Live from the Lewisham Odeon

[Intro] 1, 2, 1, 2, 3! What are we gonna do now? Hup, two, three, four! Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew? Working for the clampdown They put up a poster saying we earn more than you! Working for the clampdown So we teach our twisted speech To the young believers We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers 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? Yeah, listen! The voices in his head are calling Stop wasting your time, 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, boy, get runnin' The best years of your life they want to steal And they will You grow up, and you calm down Working for the clampdown You start wearing the blue and brown Working for the clampdown So you got someone to boss around It makes you feel big now You drift until you brutalize Make your first kill now In these days of evil Presidentes Working for the clampdown Lately one or two has fully paid their dues Working for the clampdown Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong! Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong! Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
