Clampdown lyrics

by

The Strokes



[Verse 1]
What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, "Is this man a Jew?"
Working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying, "We made 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 young believers

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 - working for the clampdown

Kick over the wall, cause governments to fall
Do you know that you can use it?
Anger can be power, yes, let 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 cunning
You don't have nothing, there's no one comin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
[Chorus]
You grow up and you calm down
You're working for the clampdown
You start wearing blue and brown
And working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
Make your first kill now

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah I hope you're no longer alone
That's right
Thank you people, thank you
