North and South - The Clash

作词：Joe Strummer/Bernard Rhodes

作曲：Joe Strummer/Bernard Rhodes

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 chargin' 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 killin'

Of a woman and a man

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

But the north is down

There's gonna be a killin'

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 diggin' no graves

We're diggin' a foundation

For a future to be made

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

But the north is down

There's gonna be a killin'

Of a woman and a man

Trying to feed that child

Without a coin in their hand

It's gonna be a burn out
