Clash - Red Angel Dragnet Lyrics
I come from a long way awayAnd I know a fine thing when I see it.See itFor the same reason no one everPointed a telescope at the sunTalking about the red angels of new york cityChorusWho shot the shot?Who got shot tonite?Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own.Never mind the peopleTonite its raining on the angels of the cityDid anyone prophesize these people?Only travisCome in travisOne of these days Im gonna get myself organized.All the animals come out at night.Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick venal.Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. listen you screwheads:Here is a man who would not take it anymore.A man who stood up against the scum, the filth.Now I see clearly.Personally I know the alleyWhere jack feeds on the birds of nightNot even bubbies on bicycles 2x2Can stop the blood and feathers flyingWaring overalls and for once and for allWhat is the dream?Ill tell itTo live like they do in the moviesSan juan you listening?Yeah I bet you areHands up for hollywoodHoorayI hear youSnappy on the airHang in theirWall to wallYou saved the worledWhat else? you saved the girlChmpagne on iceNo stranger to alcatrazTo bootOr strip it downChop it a littleBeing reasonableJust freedom to moveTo liveFor women to take a walk in the park at midniteHey, but this is seriousShe cant even get back homeI come from a long way offAnd I know a lifegiver over a lifetakerFor the same reason no-one ever pointedA gun at a policemanTalking about the red angels of new york cityYeah
