Stay Free — текст песни (The Clash)

(Strummer/Jones)

WE MET WHEN WE WERE IN SCHOOL
NEVER TOOK NO SHIT FROM NO ONE, WE WEREN`T FOOLS
THE TEACHER SAYS WE`RE DUMB
WE`RE ONLY HAVING FUN
WE PISS ON EVERYONE
IN THE CLASSROOM

WHEN WE GOT THROWN OUT I LEFT WITHOUT MUCH FUSS
AN` WEEKENDS WE`D GO DANCING
DOWN STREATHAM ON THE BUS
YOU ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH

GOT ME IN BAD FIGHTS
PLAY ME POOL ALL NIGHT
SMOKIN` MENTHOL

I PRACTISED DAILY IN MY ROOM
YOU WERE DOWN THE CROWN PLANNING YOUR NEXT MOVE
GO ON A NICKING SPREE
HIT THE WRONG GUY
EACH OF YOU GET THREE
YEARS IN BRIXTON

I DID MY VERY BEST TO WRITE
HOW WAS BUTLINS?
WERE THE SCREWS TOO TIGHT?
WHEN YOU LOT GET OUT
WERE GONNA HIT THE TOWN
WE`LL BURN IT FUCKIN` DOWN
TO A CINDER

COS YEARS HAVE PASSED AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED
AND I MOVE ANYWAY I WANNA GO
I`LL NEVER FORGET THE FEELING I GOT
WHEN I HEARD THAT YOU`D GOT HOME
AN` I`LL NEVER FORGET THE SMILE ON MY FACE
`COS I KNEW WHERE YOU WOULD BE
AN` IF YOU`RE IN THE CROWN TONIGHT
HAVE A DRINK ON ME
BUT GO EASY...STEP LIGHTLY...STAY FREE
