Lyric North And South

(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!
