Magnificent Seven

Wow holy man Sunday guess that means school tomorrow blehhh anyway i needed something to write about yah cause i haven't been keeping up my promise to all you guys so here goes. the song of the day is Magnificent seven by the clash obviously so what's this song about. Its kind of a messed song but hey its rap right. The clash were the first white rappers that i know of although i could be wrong. Anyway back to the point so i asked my mum (who is a big clash fan) what the meaning was she said she thought it was about new York mafia which is completely wrong. So just for you guys  i searched up the lyrics and here is the song.

Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 a.m.!
Move yourself to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
Must get up and learn those rules
Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet
A.m., the f.m. the p.m. too
Churning out that boogaloo
Gets you up and gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?
Give me Honda, give me Sony
So cheap and real phony
Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents
English pounds and Eskimo pence
You lot! What?
Don't stop! Give it all you got!
You lot! What?
Don't stop! Yeah!
Working for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to sophistication
She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
Better work hard, I seen the price
Never mind that it's time for the bus
We got to work and you're one of us
Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours jerk
"When can I tell them what I do?
In a second, man . . . all right, Chuck!"
Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss
But anyway lunch bells ring
Take one hour and do your thing!
Cheeseburger!
What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kicking Gypsies on the pavement
Now the news, snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do in TV land
You lot! What?
Don't stop, huh?
So get back to work and sweat some more
The sun will sink and we'll get out the door
It's no good for man to work in cages
Hits the town, he drinks his wages
You're fretting, you're sweating
But did you notice you ain't getting?
Don't you ever stop long enough to start
To take your car out of that gear?
Don't you ever stop long enough to start
To get your car out of that gear?
Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels
Came to the checkout at the 7-11
Marx was skint but he had sense
Engels lent him the necessary pence
What have we got?
Yeh-o, magnificence!
Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
Went to the park to check on the game
But they was murdered by the other team
Who went on to win 50-nil
You can be true, you can be false
You be given the same reward
Socrates and Milhouse Nixon
Both went the same way, through the kitchen
Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
Who's more famous to the billion millions?
News flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie
Oh, bub-bye
