The Guns of Brixton - The Clash

Daddy don't go out tonight Just stay home 'til morning light Me and mama don't feel right Please hold us tight Daddy, why did you go to work? When you know just how much we love you so Please come back tomorrow They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free One day I'll have children of my own But I'm afraid they won't have me Mama, is daddy home? Why are you crying all alone? Grandma's tears have turned to stone And I'm all alone Mama, isn't daddy back? I'm getting scared and that's a fact Why are we all dressed like that All in black? They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free One day I'll have children of my own But I'm afraid they won't have me Daddy, don't go out tonight Please stay home 'til morning light Me and mama don't feel right Please hold us tight Daddy, why did you go to work? When you know just how much we love you so Please come back tomorrow They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free One day I'll have children of my own But I'm afraid they won't have me Mama, is daddy home? Why are you crying all alone? Grandma's tears have turned to stone And I'm chilled to the bone Mama, isn't daddy back? I'm getting scared and that's a fact Why are we all dressed like that All, all in black? They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free One day I'll have children of my own But I'm afraid they won't have me They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free One day I'll have children of my own But I'm afraid they won't have me They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free One day I'll have children of my own But I'm afraid they won't have me They're giving out guns in the ghetto They're saying they'll set you free

Yeah, I got the music cranking Japanese TV My head is full of jasmine smoke I can hardly breathe Turquoise dragons slip and slide Sliding down my back I'm standing on this cold, thin ice And I'm about to crack I'm over I'm over Over the edge Seven candles burn so bright The full moon behind a veil The ocean crashing in my head Outside the sirens wail Jet black is my dirty hair Jet black my heart and car My lips are red, my skin snow white My face is battle scarred I no longer feel the pain No longer feel my love Just the air conditioner And some help from the Lord above Coughing up pieces of my broken heart My eyes work like radar I'm lyin' in the afterglow How would I ever get this far I'm over I'm over Over the edge

How does a ragtag volunteer army, in need of a shower Somehow defeat a global superpower? How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire? Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross's flag higher? Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in He's constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen Everyone give it up for America's favourite fighting Frenchman Lafayette! I'm taking this horse by the reins Making redcoats redder with bloodstains Lafayette! And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop And burn 'em up and scatter the remains I'm—Lafayette! Watch me engaging 'em, escaping 'em, enraging 'em, ow Lafayette! I go to France for more funds Lafayette! I come back with more guns And ships And so the balance shifts We rendezvous with Rochambeau Consolidate their gifts We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but For this to succeed, there is someone else we need I know (Hamilton!) Sir, he knows what to do in the trench Ingenuitive and fluent in French I mean (Hamilton!) Sir, you're going to have to use him eventually What's he going to do on the bench I mean (Hamilton!) No one has more resilience Or matches my practical, tactical brilliance (Hamilton!) You want to fight for your land back? (Hamilton!) I need my right hand man back (Hamilton!) (Ah, uh,) get your right hand man back (Hamilton!) (You know you gotta get ya) right hand man back(Hamilton!) I mean, you gotta put some thought into the letter (Ha- Ha-) (Hamilton, Hamilton) But the sooner the better To get your right hand man back (Ha- Ha-) Alexander Hamilton Troops are waiting in the field for you If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide Oh, Alexander Hamilton I have soldiers that will yield for you If we manage to get this right They'll surrender by early light The world will never be the same Alexander

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
