[The Clash - The Equaliser lyrics]
No! Gangboss no! We don't want the whip!
As you get weaker
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
We gang, we want to equalize till
No! Gangboss no! We don't want the whip!
As you get weaker, it will get harder
So don't be like them
Your bones of effort and strength
Don't sell out to them
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
To my father's father's father
Work was no joy when his son, grown of age
You've got to work now my boy
Father, father's father
They've had to work hard boy
Never ceasing for many years
Want to follow that boy?
'Til half and half is equalized
Oh put down the tools
See the car, see the house
See the fabulous jewels
See the world you have built
In with shoulders of iron
See the world but it is not
Yours say the stealers of Zion
Geneva, Wall Street who makes them so fat?
Well well, me an' you
Better think about that in overdrive
Till humanize is equalize
Oh, put down the tools
Every face on every side
Throw down the tools
Going home, don't check with Rome
Paint strike on the door
It's one to one, the fight is on
So don't go to war
Prove me wrong
As you get weaker
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
We gang, we want to equalize till
No! Gangboss no! We don't want the whip!
As you get weaker, it will get harder
So don't be like them
Your bones of effort and strength
Don't sell out to them
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
We don't want no gangboss
We want to equalize
To my father's father's father
Work was no joy when his son, grown of age
You've got to work now my boy
Father, father's father
They've had to work hard boy
Never ceasing for many years
Want to follow that boy?
'Til half and half is equalized
Oh put down the tools
See the car, see the house
See the fabulous jewels
See the world you have built
In with shoulders of iron
See the world but it is not
Yours say the stealers of Zion
Geneva, Wall Street who makes them so fat?
Well well, me an' you
Better think about that in overdrive
Till humanize is equalize
Oh, put down the tools
Every face on every side
Throw down the tools
Going home, don't check with Rome
Paint strike on the door
It's one to one, the fight is on
So don't go to war
Prove me wrong
