Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word...

#TheClash - Ghetto Defendant (Extended Unedited ) #masterpiece
youtu.be/Wlv1fle74UU?...
Starved in metropolis
Hooked on necropolis
Addict of metropolis
Do the worm on the acropolis
Slam dance cosmopolis
Enlighten the populace
Hungry darkness of living
Who will thirst in the pit?

#TheClash - (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais
youtu.be/zI4SDH9BdD4?...
Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say...

Who dat Martian arrival at the airport, yeah? (where'd you go?)

#TheClash - Complete Control
youtu.be/JeTw_p_WglY?...
They said, "Release Remote Control"
But we didn't want it on the label
They said, "Fly to Amsterdam"
The people laughed, but the press went mad
Ooh-oh, someone's really smart
Ooh-oh, complete control, yeah, that's a laugh...
