The Magnificent Seven Lyrics - Sandinista - The Clash

The magnificent seven 

Ring! Ring! It's 7 A.M.! 

Move y'self to go again 

Cold water in the face 

Brings you back to this awful place 

Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too 

Must get up an' learn those rules 

Weather man and the crazy chief 

One says sun and one says sleet 

A.M. and the F.M. the P.M. too 

Churning out that boogaloo 

Gets you up and gets you out 

But how long can you keep it up? 

Gimme Honda gimme Sony 

So cheap and real phony 

Hong Kong dollars Indian cents 

English pounds and Eskimo pence

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You lot! What? 

Don't stop! Give it all you got! 

You lot! What? 

Don't stop! Yeah! 

You lot! What? 

Don't stop! Give it all you got! 

You lot! What? 

Don't stop! Yeah! 

Working for a rise better my station 

And take my baby to sophistication 

Seen the ads, she thinks it's nice 

Better work hard I seen the price 

Never mind that it's time for the bus 

We got to work an' you're one of us 

Clocks go slow in a place of work 

Minutes drag and the hours jerk 

Yeah wave bye-bye 

Photos 

[Spoken:] 

"When can I tell 'em wot I do? 

In a second, maaan... 

oright Chuck!" 

Wave buh-buh-buh-bye to the boss 

It's our profit, it's his loss 

But anyway the lunch bells ring 

Take one hour do your thanng! 

Cheeesboiger! 

What do we have for entertainment? 

Cops kicking Gypsies on the pavement 

Now the news has snapped to attention! 

Lunar landing of the dentist convention 

Italian mobster shoots a lobster 

Seafood restaurant gets out of hand 

Car in the fridge 

Or fridge in the car? 

Like cowboys do in T.V. land 

You lot! What? Don't stop give it all you got 

You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh? 

You lot! What? Don't stop give it all you got 

You lot! What? Don't stop. 

So get back to work and sweat some more 

The sun will sink and we'll get out the door 

It's no good for man to work in cages 

Hit the town he drinks his wages 

You're fretting you're sweating 

But did you notice you ain't getting? 

You're fretting you're sweating 

But did you notice you not getting anywhere? 

Don't you ever stop long enough to start? 

To take your car outta that gear 

Don't you ever stop long enough to start? 

To get your car outta that gear 

Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels 

Came to the checkout at the 7-11 

Marx was skint but he had sense 

Engels lent him the necessary pence 

What have we got? Yeh-o 

What have we got? Yeh-o 

What have we got? magnificence! 

(Spoken) I say 

What have we got? 

Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi 

Went to the park to check on the game 

They was murdered by the other team 

Who went on to win 50-nil 

You can be true, you can be false 

You be given the same reward 

Socrates and Milhous Nixon 

Both went the same way through the kitchen 

Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin 

Who's more famous to the billion millions?
