Píseň: Straight To Hell

Interpret:
Clash, The
Album:
Combat Rock
If you can play on the fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise


There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys


Wanna join in a chorus, of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh city
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo, photo, photograph of you
And mamma mamma mamma-san
Of you and mamma mamma mamma-san
Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid
It ain't coca-cola it's rice


Straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys


Oh papa-san
Please take me home
Oh papa-san
Everybody they wanna go home
So mamma-san says


"You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A?
In Parkland international
Hah, Junkiedom U.S.A
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
And rat poison"
The volatile Molatov says


Straight to hell


Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land
There ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived 'round here


Straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
