ALL THE YOUNG PUNKS - The Clash

(Intro) 
 /  / 

   
Do 
 /  / 
Wah 
 /   
Oh 
 / 
Hanging about down the market street 
 
I spent a lot of time on my feet 
 / 
When I saw some passing 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 

   
All the young punks 
 
Laugh your life 
   
Cos there ain't much to cry for 
   
All the young cunts 
 
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 manger 
Though he ain't the mafia 
A contract is a contract 
When they get 'em out on yer 

 
You gotta drag yourself to work 
Drag 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
