Song language: English
(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais |
| Midnight to six man |
| For the first time from Jamaica |
| Dillinger and Leroy Smart |
| Delroy Wilson, your cool operator |
| Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae |
| With backing bands sound systems |
| And if they’ve got anything to say |
| There’s many black ears here to listen |
| But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right |
| Charging from the bass knives to the treble |
| But onstage they ain’t got no roots rock rebel |
| Onstage they ain’t got no… roots rock rebel |
| Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack |
| 'Cos it won’t get you anywhere |
| Fooling with your guns |
| The British Army is waiting out there |
| An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons |
| White youth, black youth |
| Better find another solution |
| Why not phone up Robin Hood |
| And ask him for some wealth distribution |
| Punk rockers in the UK |
| They won’t notice anyway |
| They’re all too busy fighting |
| For a good place under the lighting |
| The new groups are not concerned |
| With what there is to be learned |
| They got Burton suits, ha you think it’s funny |
| Turning rebellion into money |
| All over people changing their votes |
| Along with their overcoats |
| If Adolf Hitler flew in today |
| They’d send a limousine anyway |
| I’m the all night drug-prowling wolf |
| Who looks so sick in the sun |
| I’m the white man in the Palais |
| Just lookin' for fun |
| I’m only |
| Looking for fun |
