Clampdown |
| What are we gonna do now… |
| Taking off his turban, they said is this man a Jew? |
| 'Cos they’re working for the clampdown |
| They put up a poster saying we earn more than you! |
| When we’re working for the clampdown |
| We will teach our twisted speech |
| To the young believers |
| We will train our blue-eyed man |
| To be you believers |
| The 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 governments to fall |
| How can you refuse it? |
| Let fury have the hour, anger can be power |
| D’you know that you can use it? |
| The voices in your head are calling |
| Stop wasting your time there’s 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, so boy get runnin' |
| It’s the best years of your life they want to steal |
| You grow up and you calm down |
| You’re working for the clampdown |
| You start wearing blue and brown |
| And working for the clampdown |
| So you got someone to boss around |
| It makes you feel big now |
| You drift until you brutalise |
| Make your first kill now |
| In these days of evil presidentes, ,, |
| Working for the clampdown |
| But lately one or two has fully paid their due |
| For working for the clampdown |
| But ha! |
| Gitalong! |
| Gitalong! |
| And I’ve given away no secrets. |
| Who’s barmy now? |
