The Clash

The Clash were an English punk rock band that formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. Along with punk, their music incorporated elements of reggae, ska, dub, funk, rap, dance, and rockabilly. For most of their recording career, the Clash consisted of Joe Strummer (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mick Jones (lead guitar, vocals), Paul Simonon (bass guitar, vocals) and Nicky "Topper" Headon (drums, percussion). Headon left the group in 1982, and internal friction led to Jones's departure the following year. The group continued with new members, but finally disbanded in early 1986. more »

I get violent when I'm fucked up
I get silent when I'm drugged up
Want excitement, don't get none, I go wild

I don't know what can be done about it
If you play the game you get nothing out of it
Find out for yourself try bein' a goody-goody

You better cheat-cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat-cheat or don't get anywhere
Cheat-cheat if you can't win

Nobody knows what they are doing
It's beyond your control, an' Friday night's a ruin
If you want to survive you better learn how to lie

You better cheat-cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat-cheat or don't get anywhere
Cheat-cheat if you can't win

Don't use the rules
They're not for you, they're for the fools
And you're a fool if you don't know that
So use the rules, you stupid fool
