North And South — текст песни (The Clash)

(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!
