The Clash The City of the Dead Lyrics

This is the city of the dead
I'd do something else instead

We went out kickin' around
But you got drunk an fallen down
An I wished I could be like you
With the Soho river drinking me down

In the city of the dead
It wasnt anything you said

Don't you know where to cop
That's what New York Johnny said
You should get to know your town
Just like I know mine

While all the windows stare ahead
Every nation in the world

What we wear is dangerous gear
Itll get you picked on anywhere
Though we get beat up we dont care
At least it livens up the air

But somedays we hide inside
All courage gone and paralysed
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
Today the jerks have got aggression, again
The jerks have got aggression

It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
It is the city of the dead
