The Clash - Inoculated City lyrics

The soldier boy for his soldier's pay, obeys
The sergeant at arms, whatever he says
The sergeant will for his sergeant's pay
Obey the captain's until his dying day
The captain will for his captain's pay, obey
The general order of battle play
The generals bow to the government
Obey the charge, you must not relent

What of the neighbours and
The prophets in bars?
What are they saying in our public bazaars?
We are tired of the tune you must not relent

At every stroke of the bell in the tower
There goes another boy from another side
The bulletins that steady come in say those
Familiar words at the top of the hour
The jamming city increases it's hum
And those terrible words continue to come
Through brass music of government, hear those


Guns tattoo a roll on the drums

No one mentions the neighbouring war
No one knows what their fighting is for
We are tired of the tune you must not relent

There's this different kind
Of chemical system, "2000
Flushes" Keeps the water crystal clear
Keeps the bowl sparkling clean
Continuously for about 4
Months no rings, no streaks
No stains just put the container
In your tank and forget it!
Every time you flush
The chlorine crystals dissolve away rust
And minerals before dirt
Rings and stains appear and
Flushing sure beats brushing!

The generals bow to the government
We're tired of the tune you must not relent
