THE CLASH lyrics : "WHITE MAN"

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart

Deroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae

With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen


But it was four tops all night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble

But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel


Dress back jump back this is a blue beat attack
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns

The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons


White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood

And ask him for some wealth distribution

Punk rockers in the UK

They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting


The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned

They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money


All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today

They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf

Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palace
Just looking for fun


I'm only
Looking for fun
