North and South Songtext
von The Clash

And so we say
We ain′t got life
Don't want a cardboard cut-out
Don′t want a plastic knife

Now I know, time can march
With it's chargin' feet
Now I know, words are only cheap

It′s gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The South is up
But the North is down

There′s gonna be a killin'
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand

And so we say
Have you no use
For eight million hands
And the power of youth


Now I know, time can march
With it′s chargin' feet
Now I know, words are only cheap

It′s gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The South is up
But the North is down

There's gonna be a killin′
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand

It's gonna be a burn out!

And so we say
We ain't diggin′ no graves
We′re diggin' a foundation
For a future to be made

Now I know, time can march
With it′s chargin' feet
Now I know, words are only cheap


It′s gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The South is up
But the North is down

There's gonna be a killin′
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand

It's gonna be a burn out!
