The Clash - Whiteman in Hammersmith Palais (Strummer/Jones)
[Intro]   A   E   G   A   G  A  
AMidnEight to C#msix, Dman
for the Afirst Etime from C#mJamaicDa
ADillinEger and F#mLeroy SDmart
ADelroy Wilson, Ecool operAator
AKen EBoothe, C#mU.K. pop regDgae
with Abacking Ebands C#msound Dsystems.
AIf Ethey got F#manything to Dsay,
there's Amany black Eears here to Alisten
But it was AFour Tops all night
With Eencores from stage right,
Gcharges from the base knives to the Atreble
GBut on stage they ain't got no roots, rock, Arebel.
GOn stage they ain't got no roots, rock, ArebelE.A  E  A  E  A  E  
'Cause it won't get you anywhere
Foolin' with your guns.
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons.
White youth, black youth,
Better find another solution.
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution.
Punk rockers of the U.K.,
They won't notice anyway.
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting.
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned.
They got Burton suits.  Huh, you think it's funny
Turning rebelion into money.
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats.
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limosine anyway.
I'm the all-night, drug prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun.
I'm the white man in the Palais
Who Agoes Elooking for AfunD  
I'm Aonly Elooking for AfunD  
Oh, please Amister, Ejust leave me AaloneD  
Cause I'm Aonly Elooking for AfunD  
ALooking looking looking Efor AfunD  
ALooking looking looking Efor AfunD  
 A_oh_E. A
