Clash - White Man In Hammersmith Palais Lyrics
(strummer/jones)Midnight to six manFor the first time from jamaicaDillinger and leroy smartDelroy wilson, your cool operatorKen boothe for uk pop reggaeWith backing bands sound systemsAnd if theyve got anything to sayTheres many black ears here to listenBut it was four tops all night with encores from stage rightCharging from the bass knives to the trebleBut onstage they aint got no roots rock rebelOnstage they aint got no...roots rock rebelDress back jump back this is a bluebeat attackcos it wont get you anywhereFooling with your gunsThe british army is waiting out thereAn it weighs fifteen hundred tonsWhite youth, black youthBetter find another solutionWhy not phone up robin hoodAnd ask him for some wealth distributionPunk rockers in the ukThey wont notice anywayTheyre all too busy fightingFor a good place under the lightingThe new groups are not concernedWith what there is to be learnedThey got burton suits, ha you think its funnyTurning rebellion into moneyAll over people changing their votesAlong with their overcoatsIf adolf hitler flew in todayTheyd send a limousine anywayIm the all night drug-prowling wolfWho looks so sick in the sunIm the white man in the palaisJust lookin for funIm onlyLooking for fun
