The Clash - North And South lyrics

(strummer/rhodes) 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 k**in' 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 k**in' 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 k**in' Of a woman and a man Trying to feed that child Without a coin in their hand It's gonna be a burn out!
