The Clash - Charlie Don’t Surf lyrics

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know
That it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's going to be a napalm star

Everybody wants to rule the world
It must be something we get from birth
One truth is we never learn
Satellites will make space burn
We've been told to keep the strangers out
We don't like them starting to hang around
We don't like them all over town
Across the world we are going
To blow them down

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know
That it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's going to be a napalm star



The reign of the super powers must be over
So many armies can't free the earth
Soon the rock will roll over
Africa is choking on their Coca Cola
It's a one a way street in a one horse town
One way people starting to brag around
You can laugh, put them down
These one way people going to blow us down

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know
That it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's going to be a napalm star

Charlie don't surf he'll never learn
Charlie don't surf though he's got a gun
Charlie don't surf think that he should
Charlie don't surf we really
Think that he should charlie don't surf
