Artist: the clash
Song: 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 it's 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
They 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 it's chargin' feet
Now I know words
Are only cheap
It's gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The south is up
Oh 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 graves
We're digging a foundation
For a future to be made
Now I know the time can march
With it's charging feet
Now I know words
Are only cheap
It's gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The south is up
Oh 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
