The Clash - Death or Glory lyrics
[The Clash - Death or Glory lyrics]
Hey
Now every cheap hood strikes a
Bargain with the world
And ends up makin' payments on
A sofa or a girl
"Love" and "hate" tattooed across the
Knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around
'cause they don't understand how
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
In every gimmick hungry yob diggin'
Gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mic and tell us
He'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and
It's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Fear in the gun sights they say "Lie low"
You say "Ok" don't wanna play a show
No other thinking was it death or glory now?
Playin' the blues of kings
Sure looks better now
Death or glory, just another story
Death or glory, just another story
In every dingy basement on every dingy street
Every draggin' handclap over
Every draggin' beat
That's just the beat of time
Beat that must go on
If you've been tryin' for years
We already heard your song
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory, just another story
Gotta march a long way fight a long time
Get to travel over mountains
Got to travel over seas
We gonna fight you, brother
We gonna fight 'til you lose
We gonna raise trouble we gonna raise hell
We gonna fight you, brother raise hell
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory, just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Now every cheap hood strikes a
Bargain with the world
And ends up makin' payments on
A sofa or a girl
"Love" and "hate" tattooed across the
Knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around
'cause they don't understand how
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
In every gimmick hungry yob diggin'
Gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mic and tell us
He'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and
It's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Fear in the gun sights they say "Lie low"
You say "Ok" don't wanna play a show
No other thinking was it death or glory now?
Playin' the blues of kings
Sure looks better now
Death or glory, just another story
Death or glory, just another story
In every dingy basement on every dingy street
Every draggin' handclap over
Every draggin' beat
That's just the beat of time
Beat that must go on
If you've been tryin' for years
We already heard your song
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory, just another story
Gotta march a long way fight a long time
Get to travel over mountains
Got to travel over seas
We gonna fight you, brother
We gonna fight 'til you lose
We gonna raise trouble we gonna raise hell
We gonna fight you, brother raise hell
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory, just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
