Track 6 of a classic Clash song live at Shea Stadium. During this live performance, Joe Strummer famously wore a racoon hat.
[The Magnificent Seven Part I]
[Intro]
Don't you ever stop a'long enough to start?
Take your car outta that gear
Don't you ever stop a'long enough to start?
Take your car outta that gear
[Chorus]
Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A.M.!
Move yourself to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
Must get up and learn those rules
Weather man the crazy chief
One says "Sun" and one says "Sleet"
A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too
Churnin' out that boogaloo
Gets you up and a'gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?
Gimme Honda, gimme Sony
So cheap and real phony
Hong Kong dollar, Indian cents
English pounds and Eskimo pence
[Post-Chorus]
You lot!
Don't stop, give it all you got
You lot! What?
Don't stop
You lot! What?
Don't stop, give it all you got
You lot! What?
Don't stop
[Verse 1]
Workin' for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to Sophistication
She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
Better work hard, I seen the price
Never mind that, it's time for the bus
We got to work, and you're one of us
Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours jerk
[Bridge]
"That's what I say, boss!"
[Pre-Chorus]
Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss
But anyway, the lunch bell ring
Take one hour, and do your... thaaaang!
CHEESEBOIGEEER!!
[Joe Strummer]
"I play like a 12 inch, well this is a kind of... a black New York rhythm that we stole one night, so we think we grew our hair taking this little thing, I wanna take you to Jamaica... not yet, yes we are going down to Jamaica everybody, so hold on, fasten your seatbelts, extinguish all reefers"
