The Clash — Stay Free

[Intro] We met when we were at school Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools The teacher says we're dumb, we're only havin' fun You know we piss on everyone in the classroom [Verse 1] When we got thrown out I left without much fuss And weekends we'd go dancin' down Streatham on the bus You always made me laugh, got me in bad fights Play me pool all night, smokin' menthols [Verse 2] I practiced daily in my room You were down at Crown plannin' your next move Go on a nickin' spree, hit the wrong guy Each of you get three years in Brixton [Bridge] I did my very best to write How was Butlins? Were the screws too tight? When you lot get out were gonna hit the town We'll burn it fucking down to a cinder [Chorus] 'Cause years have passed and things have changed And I move anyway I want to go And I'll never forget the feelin' I got When I heard that you'd got home [Outro] And I'll never forget the smile on my face 'Cause I knew where you would be And if you're in the Crown tonight have a drink on me But go easy Step lightly, yeah Stay free
