The Clash — North and South

And so we say We ain't got life Don't want a cardboard cut-out Don't want a plastic knife Now I know, time can march With its charging feet Now I know words are only cheap It's gonna be a burn out All around this town The south is up But the north is down There's gonna be a killing Of a woman and a man Trying to feed that child Without a coin in their hand And so we say Have you no use For eight million hands And the power of youth Now I know time can march With its charging feet Now I know words are only cheap It's gonna be a burn out All around this town The south is up But the north is down There's gonna be a killing Of a woman and a man Trying to feed that child Without a coin in their hand It's gonna be a burn out! And so we say We ain't digging no grave We're digging a foundation For a future to be made Now I know time can march With its charging feet Now I know, words are only cheap It's gonna be a burn out All around this town The south is up But the north is down There's gonna be a killing Of a woman and a man Trying to feed that child Without a coin in their hand It's gonna be a burn out!
