North And South — The Clash

(Strummer/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!
