Clash The North And South Lyrics

North And South Lyrics

(strummer/rhodes)

 

 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!
