Clampdown

Lyrics

taking off his turban they said is this man a jew
 cause they're working for the clampdown
 and they put up a poster saying we earn more than you
 when we're working for the clampdown
 we will teach our twisted speech
 to the young believers
 train our blue-eyed men
 to be young believers
 judge said five to ten - i said double that again
 i'm not working for the clampdown
 well no one born with a living soul
 could 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
 don't you know that you can use it
 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 so boy get running
 it's the best years of your life they want to steal
 you grow up and you calm down
 cause you're working for the clampdown
 and you start wearing the blue and the brown
 cause you're working for the clampdown
 so you got someone to boss around
 does it makes you feel big now
 and you drift until you brutalize
 you've made your first kill now
 i say in these days of evil presidentes
 working for the clampdown
 i said lately one or two have fully paid their dues
 working for the clampdown
 working for the clampdown
 hey you are now
 working for the clampdown
 hey you are now
 (working for the clampdown)
 kick over the wall (working for the clampdown)
 cause governments to fall (working for the clampdown)
 how can you refuse it (working for the clampdown)
 hey get along now
 (working for the clampdown)
 giving away no secrets
