The Clash - Red Angel Dragnet (edited version) lyrics
[The Clash - Red Angel Dragnet edited version lyrics]
I come from a long way, away
And I know a fine thing when I see it, see it
For the same reason no one ever
Pointed a telescope at the sun
Talking about the Red Angels of NY city
Who shot the shot? Who got shot tonight?
Who shot the shot? Who got shot tonight?
Not even five enforcement agencies
Can save their own never mind the people
Tonight it's raining on the
Angels of the city (Who got shot tonight?)
Did anyone prophesize these people?
Only Travis
Thank God for the rain to wash
The trash off the sidewalk
Listen you screw heads
Here is a man who would not take it anymore
A man who stood up against the scum
The filth now I see clearly
Personally I know the alley
Where Jack feeds on the birds of night
Not even Bobbies bicycling two by two
Can stop the blood and feathers flying
Who got shot tonight? Who got shot tonight?
Who got shot tonight?
Wearing overalls and for once and for all
What is the dream? I'll tell it
To live like they do in the movies
San Juan you listening? yeah, I bet you are
Hands up for Hollywood, hooray, I hear you
Snappy on the air hang in there wall to wall
You saved the world, what else?
You saved the girl champagne on ice
No stranger to Alcatraz to boot
Or strip it down chop it a little
Being reasonable
Just freedom to move to live
(Who got shot tonight?)
For women to take a walk
In the park at midnight
(Who got shot tonight?)
Hey, but this is serious
She can't even get back home
(Who got shot tonight?) who shot that
And I know a fine thing when I see it, see it
For the same reason no one ever
Pointed a telescope at the sun
Talking about the Red Angels of NY city
Who shot the shot? Who got shot tonight?
Who shot the shot? Who got shot tonight?
Not even five enforcement agencies
Can save their own never mind the people
Tonight it's raining on the
Angels of the city (Who got shot tonight?)
Did anyone prophesize these people?
Only Travis
Thank God for the rain to wash
The trash off the sidewalk
Listen you screw heads
Here is a man who would not take it anymore
A man who stood up against the scum
The filth now I see clearly
Personally I know the alley
Where Jack feeds on the birds of night
Not even Bobbies bicycling two by two
Can stop the blood and feathers flying
Who got shot tonight? Who got shot tonight?
Who got shot tonight?
Wearing overalls and for once and for all
What is the dream? I'll tell it
To live like they do in the movies
San Juan you listening? yeah, I bet you are
Hands up for Hollywood, hooray, I hear you
Snappy on the air hang in there wall to wall
