An' I wanna move the town to the Clash City Rockers
    BB            AA       BB        EE
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
You better leave town if you only wanna knock us
Nothing stands the pressure of the Clash City Rockers

You see the rate they come down the escalator
Now listen to the tube train accelerator
Then you realise that you gotta have a purpose
Or this place is gonna knock you out sooner or later       (!)

                C♯                     w/ (oh oh oh)
  So don't complain
                       B
  About your useless employment
          A
  Jack it in
            EE    BB  EE
  Forever tonight

  Or shut your mouth
  And pretend you enjoy it
  Think of all
  The money you've got

And I wanna liquefy everybody gone dry
Or plug into the aerials that poke up in the sky
Or burn down the suburbs with the half-closed eyes
You won't succeed unless you try

  Refrain  yeah yeah
