Clampdown

[Intro]
A E/A
F#m/A E/A    A
         The kingdom is ransacked
           E/A
The jewels all taken back
            F#m/A        E/A
And the chopper  descends
                      A
They're hidden in the back
                        E/A
With a message on a halfbaked tape
             F#m/A           E/A
And the spool     goes 'round
               A
Sayin' I'm back here in this place
               E/A
And I could cry
                            F#m/A   E/A A
And there's smoke you could click on

[Bridge]
D                   G  A
A'what are we gonna do now?

[Verse 1]
  A            D
Takin' off his turban, they said,
G            A
"Is this man a Jew?"
                D    A
Workin' for the clampdown
              D             G             A
They put up a poster sayin' "We earn more than you!"
                      D    A
We're workin' for the clampdown
        D                 G
We will teach our twisted speech
               D  A
To the young believers
        D                  G
We will train our blueeyed men
              D  A
To be young believers

[Verse 2]
    A    A              D              G             A
The judge said "Five to ten" but I say "Double that again"
                        D    A
I'm not workin' for the clampdown
           D       G      A
No man born with a livin' soul
                       D    A
Can be workin' for the clampdown
     D
Kick over the wall,
G
'cause governments to fall
              D    A
How can you refuse it?
    D
Let fury have the hour,
G
anger can be power
                        D   A
D'you know that you can use it?

[Interlude 1]
A   E
The voices in your head are callin'
Stop wasting your time,
there's nothing comin'
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothin',
so boy get running
It's the best years of your life they want to steal

[Verse 3]
E     A        D      G        A
 But, you grow up and you calm down
                           D    A
And you're workin' for the clampdown
          D       G        A
You start wearin' blue and brown
                    D    A
And workin' for the clampdown
       D              G
So you got someone to boss around
                  D   A
It makes ya' feel big now
    D               G
You drift until you brutalize
                D    A  A
Make your first kill now

[Verse 4]
A        D        G      A

                D    A
Workin' for the clampdown
                  D         G        A
But lately one or two has fully paid their dues
                    D    A
