The Clash - Straight to Hell (Live) lyrics
[The Clash - Straight to Hell Live lyrics]
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze in the generation
Clear as winter ice this is your paradise
There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Wanna join in a chorus
Of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa
Papa-san take me home see me got photo photo
Photograph of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Of you and Mamma Mamma Mamma-san
Let me tell you 'bout your blood bamboo kid
It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice
Straight to hell, boy
Go straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Oh Papa-san please take me home
Oh Papa-san everybody they wanna go home
So Mamma-san says
You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime USA?
In Parkland International ha, Junkiedom USA
Where procaine proves the purest
Rock man groove and rat poison
The volatile Molotov says
Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah
Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah straight to hell
Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere no man's land
There ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived 'round here
Straight to hell boy go straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Oh Pappa-san, please take me home
Everybody they wanna go home now
