Clash, The - Death Or Glory Lyrics






Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
Ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love 'n hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around, 'cause they don't understand how

Death or glory, becomes just another story
Death or glory, becomes just another story

'N every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n roll
Grabs the mic to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research
He, who fucks nuns, will later join the church

Death or glory, becomes just another story
Death or glory, becomes just another story

Fear in the gun-sights
They say lie low
You say ok
Don't wanna play the show
Now all you're thinking
"Was it death or glory now?"
Playing the blues of kings
Sure looks better now

Death or glory, just another story?
Death or glory, just another story?

From every dingy basement, on every dingy street
Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
It's just the beat of time, the beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years, we 'ready heard your song

Death or glory, becomes just another story
Death or glory, just another story?

We gonna march, a long way
Fight, a long time
We got to travel, over mountains
Got to travel, over seas
We gonna fight, your brother
We gonna fight, 'til you lose
We gonna raise, trouble
We gonna raise, hell

We gonna fight, your brother
Raise, hell

Death or glory, becomes just another story
Death or glory, becomes just another story

Death or glory, just another story?
Death or glory, becomes just another story

    [Intro]
    Hey

    [Verse 1]
    Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
    And ends up makin' payments on a sofa or a girl
    "Love" and "hate" tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
    Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how

    [Chorus]
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story

    [Verse 2]
    In every gimmick hungry yob diggin' gold from rock 'n' roll
    Grabs the mic and tell us he'll die before he's sold
    But I believe in this and it's been tested by research
    He who fucks nuns will later join the church

    [Chorus]
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story

    [Verse 3]
    Fear in the gun sights
    They say "Lie low"
    You say "Ok"
    Don't wanna play a show
    No other thinking
    Was it death or glory now?
    Playin' the blues of kings
    Sure looks better now


    [Chorus]
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story

    [Verse 4]
    In every dingy basement on every dingy street
    Every draggin' handclap over every draggin' beat
    That's just the beat of time, beat that must go on
    If you've been tryin' for years we already heard your song

    [Chorus]
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story

    [Verse 5]
    Gotta march a long way
    Fight a long time
    Get to travel over mountains
    Got to travel over seas
    We gonna fight your brother
    We gonna fight 'til you lose
    We gonna raise trouble
    We gonna raise hell
    We gonna fight your brother
    Raise hell


    [Chorus]
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story
    Death or glory becomes just another story

  37. R.... C....

    Currently, the song "Should I stay Should I go" is related to the controversal question of the Brexit. At least, today in the italian tv programmes, talked about this news!

    R.... C....

    Italian tv is the worst shit you can see

  38. R.... C....

    In my opinion, this band has really innovated the punk rock music with its original and fantastic style!

  39. c.... ....

    2:40 favorite part of the song.

    c.... ....

    Mine's at 2:18 where Strummer's voice cracks. The backing vocals by Mick Jones are absolutely perfect.

    As I turn 67, still my favorite all time song. I stop, pull over to the side of the road, absorb the lyrics and beat when I hear it on the radio.

    R.... D....

    As I'm 30, this is now my favourite all time song, I shall pull over to the side of the road, go in to my dad's house and rob his CDs more often :)

    R.... D....
