Clampdown - Intellectual

[Intro]

The kingdom is ransacked, the jewels all taken back and the chopper descends

They're hidden in the back with a message on a half-baked tape and the spool goes 'round

Saying I'm back here in this place, and I could cry and there's smoke you could click on

What are we gonna do now?

[Verse 1]

Takin' off his turban, they said, "Is this man a Jew?"

(Working for the clampdown)

They put up a poster saying "We earn more than you!"

We're (Working for the clampdown)

We will teach our twisted speech to the young believers

We will train our blue-eyed men to be young believers

[Verse 2]

The judge said "Five to ten" but I say "Double that again"

I'm not (Working for the clampdown)

No man born with a living soul

Can be (Working for the clampdown)

Kick over the wall, cause governments to fall

How can you refuse it?

Let fury have the hour, anger can be power

D'you know that you can use it?

[Bridge]

The voices in your head are calling

Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming

Only a fool would think someone could save you

The men at the factory are old and cunning

You don't owe nothing, boy, get running

It's the best years of your life they want to steal

[Verse 3]

But you grow up and you calm down

And (Working for the clampdown)

You start wearing blue and brown

And (Working for the clampdown)

So you got someone to boss around, it make ya feel big now

You drift until you brutalize, make your first kill now

[Verse 4]

In these days of evil presidentes

(Working for the clampdown)

But lately one or two has fully paid their dues

For (Workin' for the clampdown)

Ha! Get along! Get along!

(Working for the clampdown)

Ha! Get along! Get along!

(Working for the clampdown)

[Outro]

Yeah I’m working hard in Harrisburg

Working hard in Petersburg

(Working for the clampdown)

Ha! Get along! Get along

Begging to be melted down

(Get along, get along)

Work

And I give away no secrets

Work

More work

Work

Who's barmy now?
