The Clash - North And South [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
And so we say
We ain't got life
Don't want a cardboard cut-out
Don't want a plastic knife

[Chorus]
Now i know, time can march
With it's charging feet
Now i know, words are only cheap
It's gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The south is up
But the north is down

[Verse 2]
There's gonna be a killing
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand
And so we say
Have you no use
For eight million hands
And the power of youth

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There's gonna be a killing
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand
It's gonna be a burn out!

[Bridge]
And so we say
We ain't digging no graves
We're digging a foundation
For a future to be made

[Chorus]

[Outro]
There's gonna be a killing
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand
It's gonna be a burn out!
