Joe Strummer
Go Jack flash on everything
Roll like a stone a-way with the wind
The storm blew through Kansas but you're loving it
Aren't you
Never believe that it's just a ride
Are you gonna fight Freddie Krueger or join his side
Cuz nightmare or dream, it's bedtime
So here we go
We're gonna resurrect Joe Strummer
So he can be the frontman of our band
Make do with a 808 machine
Till we find a drummer
Masquerade as famous, how people do
Figure out an game plan, travel the land, make hits all Summer
They said to us
You've got to write them something better
You've got to jam every frequency on the air
Hack every single station until they care
Till you're getting through
People admit sometimes they're terrified
Like, you can't decide if you're Jekyll or if you're Hyde
Well, that OCD, it never dies, so enjoy the whole show
We're gonna resurrect Joe Strummer
So he can be the frontman of our band
Make do with a 808 machine
Till we find a drummer
Masquerade as famous, till the cheques come through
Lie to the fans, do whatever we can, gotta feed that monster
Do you want to know how to be happy, but really
Eternally, smiling
There's nothing like music to move the feet
But if you find your self stumbling, listen to me
If you want to know how to be happy, like ecstasy
Find out finally what you really need
There's no promise or guarantee
Some of it's real, some of it's hyperbole
We're gonna resurrect Joe Strummer
So he can be the frontman of our band
Make do with a 808 machine
Till we find a drummer
Masquerade as famous, until it comes true
Lets hire out a white van, get a Dalmatian, burn down California
Roll like a stone a-way with the wind
The storm blew through Kansas but you're loving it
Aren't you
Never believe that it's just a ride
Are you gonna fight Freddie Krueger or join his side
Cuz nightmare or dream, it's bedtime
So here we go
We're gonna resurrect Joe Strummer
So he can be the frontman of our band
Make do with a 808 machine
Till we find a drummer
Masquerade as famous, how people do
