All the young punks The Clash
(Intro)
I knew how to sing
y' know an
They knew how to pose
An' one of them had a Les Paul
Heart attack machine
Everybody wants to bum
A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster
And we went out
Got our name in small print on the poster
Of course we got a manger
Though he ain't the mafia
A contract is a contract
When they get 'em out on yer
Drag yourself to sleep
By the middle of the week
Face front you got the future shining
Like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot

You're dead from the neck upBy the middle of the week
