The Clash - All the Young Punk (New Boots and Contracts) lyrics

Hanging about Down the market street I spent a lot of time on my feet When i saw some pa**ing yabbos We did chance to speak I knew how to sing Y' know an They knew how to pose An' one of them had a les paul Heart attack machine [Chorus] All the young punks Laugh your life Cos there ain't much to cry for All the young c*nts Live it now Cos there ain't much to die for Everybody wants to bum A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster And we went out Got our name in small print on the poster Of course we got a manager Though he ain't the mafia A contract is a contract When they get 'em out on yer [Chorus] You gotta drag yourself to work Drug yourself to sleep You're dead from the neck up By the middle of the week Face front you got the future shining Like a piece of gold But i swear as we get closer It look more like a lump of coal But it's better than some factory Now that's no place to waste your youth I worked there for a week once I luckily got the boot [Chorus]
