Lyrics Ghetto Defendant (Extended Unedited Version) - The Clash
Starved
in
metropolis
Ed
on
necropolis
Addict
of
metropolis
Do
the
worm
on
the
acropolis
Slam
dance
cosmopolis
Enlighten
the
populace
Hungry
darkness
of
living
Who
will
thirst
in
the
pit?
(Ed
in
metropolis)
She
spent
a
lifetime
deciding
How
to
run
from
it
(Addicts
of
metropolis)
Once
fate
had
a
witness
And
the
years
seemed
like
friends
(Girlfriends)
Now
her
child
has
a
dream
But
it
begins
like
the
end
(Shot
in
eternity)
(Methadone
kitty)
(Iron
serenity)
Ghetto
defendant
It
is
heroin
pity
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
That
stops
you
taking
the
city
(Strung
out
committee)
Walled
out
of
the
city
Clubbed
down
from
uptown
Sprayed
pest
from
the
nest
Run
out
to
barrio
town
(The
guards
are
itchy)
Forced
to
watch
at
the
feast
Then
sweep
up
the
night
Flipped
pieces
of
coin
(Broken
bottles)
Exchanged
for
birthright
(Grafted
in
a
jiffy)
Ghetto
defendant
It
is
heroin
pity
(Strung
out
committee)
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
That
stops
you
taking
the
city
(Not
sitting
pretty)
(Grafted
in
a
jiffy)
Heroin
pity
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
That
stops
you
taking
the
city
The
Ghetto
Prince
of
gutter
poets
Was
bounced
out
of
the
room
(Jean
Arthur
Rimbaud)
By
the
bodyguards
of
greed
For
disturbing
the
tomb
His
words
like
flamethrowers
(Paris
commune)
Burnt
the
ghettos
in
their
chests
His
face
painted
whiter
And
he
was
laid
to
rest
(Died
in
Marseilles)
Ghetto
defendant
(Buried
in
Charleville)
It
is
heroin
pity
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
Stops
you
taking
the
city
(Shut
up
in
eternity)
It
is
heroin
pity
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
That
stops
you
taking
the
city
Guatemala,
Honduras,
Poland
A
100
years
war
TV
rerunning
visions
Salvador
Afghanistan,
meditation
Kick
junk
what
else
can
a
poor
worker
do
Ghetto
defendant
It′s
heroin
pity
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
Will
stop
you
taking
the
city
Ghetto
defendant
It
is
heroin
pity
Not
tear
gas
nor
baton
charge
