Lyrics Clampdown (Live at Consol Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA - 04/22/2014) - Bruce Springsteen

What are we gonna do now?

Taking off his turban, they said, "Is this man a Jew?"
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you
'Cause we're working for the clampdown

We'll teach our twisted speech to the young
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men to be young
To be young believers

Now the judge said five to ten but I say double that again
I'm not working for the clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the clampdown

Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
Do you know that you can use it?

The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy, get running
It's the best years of your life they wanna steal

One, two, three
You grow old and you calm down
Working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
Working for the clampdown

You got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
Make your first kill now

In these days of evil presidents
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
Working for the clampdown

Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown

Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown

Working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
Working for the clampdown
Hah, get along, get along
