The Clash - In Hammersmith Palais (White Man) lyrics

[The Clash - In Hammersmith Palais White Man lyrics]

1, 2, a'1, 2, 3, 4

Ooh midnight to six, man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and a'Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backin' bands sound systems
If they got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen

But it was Four Tops all night
With encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble
But onstage they ain't got
No roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got noroots rock rebel

(Dress back, jump back
This is a bluebeat attack)



'Cause it won't get you anywhere
Foolin' with the guns
The British Army is waitin' out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up a'Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution?

Punk rocker in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fightin'
For a good place under the lightin'

The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suit's, huh
Ya' think it's funny
Turnin' rebellion into money

All over people changin' their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all-night drug-prowling' wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just a'lookin' for fun
Only lookin' for fun

Oh, please mister just leave me alone

I'm only lookin' for fun
