Clash The Movers And Shakers Lyrics

Movers And Shakers Lyrics

(strummer/rhodes)

 

 The boy stood in the burning slum

 Better times had to come

 Fate lay in the hands that clap

 The muscles that move & the power that raps

 He went up on money street

 Waving an poping to the beat

 Off his wits an on his feet

 He worked a coin from the cold concrete

 

 Movers & shakers come on you got what it takes to make it

 Movers an shakers come on even if you have to fake it

 

 Where the highway meets the lights

 With a red bandanna & rapid wipes

 He shines glass and he cleans chrome

 He'll accept what he gets thrown

 This man earns cos its understood

 Times are bad and he's makin good

 Down on him but he's got it beat

 He's working coin from the cold concrete

 

 Movers & shakers come on....etc

 And when i see you down & i say

 That aint no way through that aint no way through

 Movers & shakers come on....etc

 

 Way back in some city heat

 When a friend was anybody with food to eat

 It was lousy life with a leaking roof

 We got up to find that truth

 Make a drum from a garbage can

 Allow your tongue to be a man

 When the beat propels you off your seat

 You got it made in the cold concrete

 

 Movers & shakers come on!
