ALL THE YOUNG PUNKS (NEW BOOTS AND CONTACTS)
THE CLASH
Yeah
Do wahh, Do wahh, Do wahhhh ohhh
Hanging about
down the market street
I spent a lot of time on my feet
When I saw some passing yabbos
We did chance to speak
I knew how to sing
y' know and
They knew how to pose
An' one of them had a Les Paul
Heart attack machine
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All the young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All the young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
Do wahh, Do wahh, Do wahhhh ohhh
Everybody wants to bum
A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster
And we went out
Got our name in small print on the poster
Of course we got a manger
Though he ain't the mafia
A contract is a contract
When they get 'em out on yer
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All the young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All the young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
You gotta drag yourself to work
Drag yourself to sleep
You're dead from the neck up
By the middle of the week
Do wahh, Do wahh, Do wahhhh ohhh
Face front you got the future
shining like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All you young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All you young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
