clampdown
birdmad What are we gonna do now?

Taking off his turban,
they said,
"Is this man a Jew?"
Cause they're working for the clampdown

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
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young 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 government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour,
anger can be power
D'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 runnin'
It's the best years of your life
they want to steal

You grow up and you calm down
You're working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
You're working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
You made your first kill now

In these days of evil presidentes
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two
has fully paid their due
For working for the clampdown
But ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
ha! Gitalong! Gitalong

Working hard in harrisburg, workin hard in Pittsburgh

Begging to be melted down

(And I've given away no secrets
Who's barmy now?)

workin' for the clampdown
