Clash - This Is England Lyrics
(strummer/rhodes)I hear a gang fire on a human factory farmAre they howling out or doing somebody harmOn a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my armA voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palmThis is englandThis knife of sheffield steelThis is englandThis is how we feelTime on his hands freezing in those clothesHe wont go for the carrotThey beat him by the poleSome sunny day confronted by his soulHes out at sea, too far off, he cant go homeThis is englandWhat were supposed to die forThis is englandAnd were never gonna cry no moreBlack shadow of the vincentFalls on a triumph lineI got my motorcycle jacketBut Im walking all the timeSouth atlantic wind blowsIce from a dying creedI see no gloryWhen will we be freeThis is englandWe can chain you to the railThis is englandWe can kill you in a jailThe british boots go kick themGot em in the headPolice aint watchinThe newspapers been readWho cares to protestA (? ? ? ) in the eye like a flareOut came the batons andThe british warned themselvesThis is englandThe land of (il)legal dancesThis is englandLand of a thousand stancesThis is englandThis knife of sheffield steelThis is englandThis is how we feelThis is englandThis is england
