North And South Lyrics - The Clash

And so we say 

We ain't got life 

Don't want a cardboard cut-out 

Don't want a plastic knife 

Now I know, time can march 

With it's chargin' feet 

Now I know, words are only cheap 

It's gonna be a burn out 

All around this town 

The South is up 

But the North is down 

There's gonna be a killin' 

Of a woman and a man 

Trying to feed that child 

Without a coin in their hand

And so we say 

Have you no use 

For eight million hands 

And the power of youth 

Now I know, time can march 

With it's chargin' feet 

Now I know, words are only cheap 

It's gonna be a burn out 

All around this town 

The South is up 

But the North is down 

There's gonna be a killin' 

Of a woman and a man 

Trying to feed that child 

Without a coin in their hand 

It's gonna be a burn out!

And so we say 

We ain't diggin' no graves 

We're diggin' a foundation 

For a future to be made 

Now I know, time can march 

With it's chargin' feet 

Now I know, words are only cheap 

It's gonna be a burn out 

All around this town 

The South is up 

But the North is down 

There's gonna be a killin' 

Of a woman and a man 

Trying to feed that child 

Without a coin in their hand 

It's gonna be a burn out!
