Клип The Clash - Clampdown

Текст Песни The Clash - Clampdown

"The kingdom is ransacked, the jewels all taken back
And the chopper descends
They're hidden in the back with a message on a half-baked tape
Where the spool goes round
Saying I'm back here just facing the crowd,
And there's smoke you can click on"

What are we gonna do now?

Taking off his turban, they said: "Is this man a jew?"
'Cos we're working for the clampdown.
They put up a poster saying "We earn more than you"
We're working for the clampdown.

We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers.
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young 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, 'cos government's 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, boy get running!
It's the best years of your life they want to steal

But you grow up and you calm down and
Working for the clampdown.
You start wearing blue and brown and
Working for the clampdown.

So you got someone to boss around,
Make you feel big now.
You drift until you brutalize,
Make your first kill now.

In these days of evil presidentes,
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their dues,
Working for the clampdown.

Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Working for the clampdown,
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Working for the clampdown.

I'm working hard in Harrisberg,
Working hard in Petersberg,
Working for the clampdown,
Working for the clampdown.

Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Begging to be melted down!
Gitalong, Gitalong.
(Work) (Work) (Work)

And I've given away no secrets!
Ha!

(Work) (Work)
(More work)
(More work)
(Work) (Work)
(Work) (Work)

Who's barmy now! Ha!
