the clash – north and south lyrics
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!
