Lyrics Categorizing Music - The Clash
Because
punk,
funk,
junk,
skunk,
What
the
hell
difference
does
it
make,
You
know?
Take
grandmaster
flash,
the
message,
He's
speaking
through
his
music,
you
know?
I
don't
care
who
it
is,
you
know?
Give
me
Steve
Miller
if
he's
gonna
speak
through
his
music,
I'll
tell
you
that,
you
know?
I'm
not
into
this,
um,
this...
this
is
for
purists,
And
I
can't
stand
purists,
they
went
on
about
the
blues,
Can
blue
man
sing
the
white,
Can
white
men
sing
the
blues,
They
went
on
about
r&b,
Is
this
genuine
r&b
or
is
this
hype
of
fight
modern
r&b,
Who
cares,
you
know,
does
it
speak
the
truth
Or
is
it
a
waste
of
time,
that's
my
criteria.
I
couldn't
care
if
it...
if
it
was
chorus
of
choir
girls
With
tinkerbells
jingling,
If
it
spoke
the
truth
it
would
be
it,
it
would
be
it,
And
there
would
be
no
saying
it
wasn't.
I
can't
have
no
time
for
these
people
that
say
It's
gotta
be
fast
buzzsaw
guitars
and
Boom-blam-a-bang,
And
people
shouting
into
mics,
They
can't
hear
what
they
are
shouting
about.
I
don't
care,
you
know,
take
that
stuff
if
you
wanna
take
it
but,
It
doesn't
matter
you
know?
It's
called
pulling
the
cattle
black,
this
is
very
Important,
everybody
knows
the
cattle
is
black.
