Clampdown (The End Has No End B-Side / Live at Alexandra Palace, London, UK - Dec. 5, 2003) Lyrics by The Strokes

2004

What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, he said, "Is this man a Jew?"
Working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying, "We make more than you"
Working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue eyed man
To be your believers
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
You know that you can use
Anger can be power, let the fury have the hour
How can you refuse it?
The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there’s no one coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and they're cunning
You don't owe nothing, if no one’s coming
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
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
Make you feel big now
Oh, you drift until you brutalize
Made your first kill now
Yeah
[2:35 ?] rock 'n' roll
That's right
Thank you, people
Thank you
