Clampdown - Indigo Girls

作曲：Joe Strummer/Michael Jones

Taking off his turban

They said Is this man a Jew

'Cause 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

Train our blue-eyed men

To be young believers

Judge said Five to ten

I said Double that again

I'm not working

For the clampdown

Well no one born

With a living soul

Could be working

For the clampdown

Kick over the wall

'Cause government's to fall

How can you refuse it

Let fury have the hour

Anger can be power

Don't 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

At the factory are old

And cunning

You don't owe nothing so

Boy get running

It's the best years of your life

They want to steal

You grow up

And you calm down

'Cause you're working

For the clampdown

And you start wearing

The blue and the brown

'Cause you're working

For the clampdown

So you got someone

To boss around

Does it make you feel big now

And you drift until you brutalize

You've made your first kill now

I say in these days

Of evil presidents

Working for the clampdown

I said lately one

Or two have fully paid their dues

Working for the clampdown

Working for the clampdown

Hey you are now

Working for the clampdown

Hey you are now

(Working for the clampdown)

Kick over the wall

(Working for the clampdown)

'Cause government's to fall

(Working for the clampdown)

How can you refuse it

(Working for the clampdown)

Hey get along now

(Working for the clampdown)

Giving away no secrets
