Clampdown Lyrics - Rage Against The Machine

What are we gonna do now? 

Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a jew? 

'cause they're working for the clampdown 

They put up a poster saying we earn more than you+ace- 

When we're working for the clampdown 

We will teach our twisted speech 

To the young believers 

We will train our blue-eyed men 

To be young believers 

The judge said five to ten-but I say double that again 

I'm not working for the clampdown 

No man born with a living soul 

Can be working for the clampdown 

Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall 

How can you refuse it? 

Let fury have the hour, anger can be power 

D'you know that you can use it?

The voices in your head are calling 

Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming 

Only a fool would think someone could save you 

The men at the factory are old and cunning 

You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin' 

It's the best years of your life they want to steal 

You grow up and you calm 

Down 

You're working for the clampdown 

You start wearing the blue and brown 

You're working for the clampdown 

So you got someone to boss around 

It makes you feel big now 

You drift until you brutalize 

You made your first kill now

In these days of evil presidentes 

Working for the clampdown 

But lately one or two has fully paid their due 

For working for the clampdown 

But ha gitalong gitalong 

And I've given away no secrets 

Who's barmy now?
