"Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying
Is what was true now no longer so"

It's sad that Joe died so young. RIP Mr. Strummer.

Move y´self to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants & you bankers, too
Must get up an´ learn those rules
Weather man & the crazy chief
One says sun & one says sleet
A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too
Churning out that boogaloo
Gets you up & gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?
Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony
So cheap & real phony
Hong Kong dollars & Indian cents
English pounds & Eskimo pence
You lot! What?
Don´t stop! Give it all you got!
You lot! What?
Don´t stop! Yea!
Working for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to sophistication
She has seen the ads, she thinks it is nice
Better work hard - I seen the price
Never mind that it is time for the bus
We got to work - an´ you are one of us
Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag & the hours jerk
"When can I tell em wot I do?
In a 2nd, maaan...oright Chuck!"
Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It is our profit, it is his loss
But anyway lunch bells ring
Take one hour & do your thanng!
Cheeesboiger!
What do we´ve for entertainment?
Cops kickin´ Gypsies on the pavement
Now the news - snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do - in T.V. land
You lot! What? Don´t stop. Huh?
So get back to work an´ sweat some more
The sun will sink an´ we will get out the door
It is no good for man to work in cages
Hits the town, he drinks his wages
You are frettin´, you are sweatin´
But did you notice you aint gettin´?
Don´t you ever stop long enough to start?
To take your car outta that gear
Don´t you ever stop long enough to start?
To get your car outta that gear
Karlo Marx & Fredrich Engels
Came to the checkout at the 7-11
Marx was skint - but he had sense
Engels lent him the necessary pence
What have we got? Yeh-o, magnificence!!
Luther King & Mahatma Gandhi
Went to the park to check on the game
But they was murdered by the other team
Who went on to win 50-nil
You can be true, you can be false
You be given the same reward
Socrates & Milhous Nixon
Both went the same way - through the kitchen
Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
Who has more famous to the billion millions?
News Flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie
Oooohh...bub-bye
Magnificence!!

(3,827 posts)Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see,
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity
Where the hell was Elijah?
What do you do when the prophecy game was through?
We gotta take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
To the very top
They say the truth crystallizes like jewels in the rock, in the rock
Get Down Moses - part another sea
Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
Get Down Moses - out in Tennessee
Get Down Moses - down in the street
The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get Down Moses - down in the pit
Lying in a dream, cross battle field,
Crashing on a downtown strip,
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip
Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto?
Who's lecturing? Who's in the know and in the don't know?
You better take the walls of Jericho
Put your lips together and blow
Goin' to the very top
Where the truth crystallizes like jewels, in the rock, in the rock
Get Down Moses - from the eagle's aerie
We gotta to make new friends out of old enemies
Get Down Moses - back in Tennessee
Get Down Moses - down with the dreads
They got a lotta reasoning in a dreadhead
Get Down Moses - down in the street
Get Down Moses
Get Down Moses - part another sea
Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
Get Down Moses - out in Tennessee
Get Down Moses - down in the street
The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet
Get Down Moses - down in the pit
Get Down Moses
Get Down Moses
Get Down Moses
We need to eat, we gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth
Get Down Moses
