the added Fand E are played on the low E string with a muted A string
what are we gonna do now?
taking off his turban they say is this man a Jew working for the clampdown
they put a poster saying "We earn more than you" we"re working for the
clampdown
we will teach our twisted speech to the young believers
we will train our blue eyed men to be young believers
The judge said five to ten but I said double it again I'm not working for
(A-
-A)
the clampdown
No man born with a living soul can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall 'cause governments gonna fall How can we refuse it?
Let fury have to hour, anger can be power if you know it you can use it
the voices in your head are calling stop wasting your time ,
theres nothing coming
only a fool can think someone can save you
the men in the factry are old and cunning you don't own nothing boy get
<<<
runnin' its the best years of your life they want to steal
(
-A)
But you grow up and you clam down, Working for the clampdown
You start wearing Blue and Brown and working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around make you feel big now
You drift until you brutilize you made your first kill now
In these days of evil presidentes working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid thier due working for the clampdown
