Joe Strummer - At The Border, Guy lyrics

We built the buildings of the new city Out of the broken down peoples And we built the new languages Out of courtesy and velocity Somebody got to have propulsion Push the envelope Extra, extra - read all about it Common sense makes a comeback Extra, extra - late in the distant city There are seventeen burned out cars in the valley And "boom" goes the refinery Where do nomads go when the Dow Jones falls too low? Crazy world Lee says forty-nine We tried to get across the river Ringo, Bobo, el numero - holy cow At Leek town hall tonight Get me a taxi, goddamn Take me to a reggae city I'm always reporting for you In the dangerous bureau This is McNally, badge forty-nine, calling in I'm with Mike Flynn Taxi, goddamn Ringo
