Clash - North & South Lyrics
(strummer/rhodes)And so we sayWe aint got lifeDont want a cardboard cut-outDont want a plastic knifeNow I know, time can marchWith its chargin feetNow I know, words are only cheapIts gonna be a burn outAll around this townThe south is upBut the north is downTheres gonna be a killinOf a woman and a manTrying to feed that childWithout a coin in their handAnd so we sayHave you no useFor eight million handsAnd the power of youthNow I know, time can marchWith its chargin feetNow I know, words are only cheapIts gonna be a burn outAll around this townThe south is upBut the north is downTheres gonna be a killinOf a woman and a manTrying to feed that childWithout a coin in their handIts gonna be a burn out!And so we sayWe aint diggin no gravesWere diggin a foundationFor a future to be madeNow I know, time can marchWith its chargin feetNow I know, words are only cheapIts gonna be a burn outAll around this townThe south is upBut the north is downTheres gonna be a killinOf a woman and a manTrying to feed that childWithout a coin in their handIts gonna be a burn out!
