Walking Dynamite Lyrics - Stiff Little Fingers

No one knows exactly where he came from 

It wassomewhere in arkansaw 

grew up flat broke with no education 

Had his run-ins with the law 

His fists became his passport out of hell 

When some guys saw he used them pretty well 

They'd found something to sell 

 

But Sonny tell me 

when you were young you had to fight 

Became the champion 

And you were walkin' dynamite 

prayed on their fears 

though quite sincere 

They wouldn't let you change 

Oh can't you tell me? 

 

flying back to philly in the morning 

With the belt stashed in his bag 

he talked of how the whole world would treat him better. 

now he was the champ 

Said he'd like to give a little break 

But no-one listens toa despised black 

except a well-worn hack 

 

But Sonny tell me 

when you were young you had to fight 

Became the champion 

And you were walkin' dynamite 

prayed on their fears 

though quite sincere 

They wouldn't let you change 

Oh can't you tell me? 

 

Minds made up and ears closed against you 

You just couldn't understand 

You'd made them rich, yeah you'd entertained them. 

You were still a hated man 

It seemed like they had used you as their clown 

But never let the bastards grind you down. 

 

But Sonny tell me 

when you were young you had to fight 

Became the champion 

And you were walkin' dynamite 

prayed on their fears 

though quite sincere 

They wouldn't let you change 

Oh can't you tell me? 

 

But Sonny tell me 

when you were young you had to fight 

Became the champion 

And you were walkin' dynamite 

prayed on their fears 

though quite sincere 

They wouldn't let you change 

Oh can't you tell me? 

 

A man deserves his dignity 

A man deserves his pride 

[Repeat]
