Overpowered By Funk

The Clash

If you ain't reggae for it..funk out!

No-one knocking at your door?

Overpowered by funk? Funk out!



Combatative, repetitive

Don't life just funk you out?

Asanine, stupifying

Can the clone line dry you out?



Part of the swarming mass? Funk out!

Slugged by the new increase?

Scared of the human bomb?

Overpowered by funk? Funk out!



Buy dog food

Rogue elephants

Tarzan on a ticker tape

Breakfast, serials?

You know you can't escape



Overpowered by funk

Don't you love our Western ways?

Car crashed by funk

Don't you love our Western ways?



Benny Goodman, trial by jury

A phone box-full of books

Dustcarts and sunrise

No-one gets off the hooks car crashed...

Food for the hungry millions? Funk out!

Home for the floating people?

Skin for the napalm victim?

Overdrunk on power

Funk out!



The final game will be solitaire

Overdrunk on power...funk out



Picture frame, tickets here

For the graffiti train

People at home show you care

Don't try

Fry me in your shockin' chairs

Funkpower over and out



This is a message from Futura

Don't prophisize the future

I liven up the culture

Because I'm deadly as a vulture

I paint on civilization

It's environmentally wack

So presenting my attack

I'll brighten up your shack

I'm down by law

That's a fact

Just give me a wall.

Any building dull or tall

I spray clandestine night subway

I cover red purple on top of grey

Hey, no slashing cuz it ain't the way

The T.A. blew 40 mil they say

We thew down by night

They scrubbed it off by day

OK tourists
