All The Young Punks (new Boots And Contracts) Lyrics

all the young punks (new boots and contracts)

 

 

 (strummer/jones)

 

 Hanging about

 Down the market street

 I spent a lot of time on my feet

 When i saw some passing yabbos

 We did chance to speak

 

 I knew how to sing

 Y' know an

 They knew how to pose

 An' one of them had a les paul

 Heart attack machine

 

 All the young punks

 Laugh your life

 Cos there ain't much to cry for

 All the young cunts

 Live it now

 Cos there ain't much to die for

 

 Everybody wants to bum

 A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster

 And we went out

 Got our name in small print on the poster

 Of course we got a manager

 Though he ain't the mafia

 A contract is a contract

 When they get 'em out on yer

 

 You gotta drag yourself to work

 Drug yourself to sleep

 You're dead from the neck up

 By the middle of the week

 

 Face front you got the future shining

 Like a piece of gold

 But i swear as we get closer

 It look more like a lump of coal

 But it's better than some factory

 Now that's no place to waste your youth

 I worked there for a week once

 I luckily got the boot
