Movers And Shakers Lyrics - The Clash

The boy stood in the burning slum 

Better times had to come 

Fate lay in the hands that clap 

The muscles that move and the power that raps 

He went up on money street 

Waving and popping to the beat 

Off his wits and on his feet 

He worked a coin from the cold concrete 

Movers and shakers come on 

You got what it takes to make it 

Movers and shakers come on 

Even if you have to fake it 

Where the highway meets the lights 

With a red bandanna, rapid wipes 

He shines glass and he cleans chrome 

He'll accept what he gets thrown

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

This man earns 'cos it's understood 

Times are bad and he's makin' good 

Down on him but he's got it beat 

He's working coin from the cold concrete 

Movers and shakers come on 

You got what it takes to make it 

Movers and shakers come on 

Even if you have to fake it 

And when I see you down and I say 

That ain't no way through, that ain't no way through 

Movers and shakers come on 

You got what it takes to make it 

Movers and shakers come on 

Even if you have to fake it 

Way back in some city heat 

When a friend was anybody with food to eat 

It was lousy life with a leaking roof 

We got up to find that truth 

Photos 

Make a drum from a garbage can 

Allow your tongue to be a man 

When the beat propels you off your seat 

You got it made in the cold concrete 

Movers and shakers come on 

You got what it takes to make it 

Movers and shakers come on 

Even if you have to fake it 

Movers and shakers come on 

You got what it takes to make it 

Movers and shakers come on 

Even if you have to fake it 

Come on
