Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ The Clash - Atom Tan ------------------------------------------ Now the corporations stopped - Stopped pushing fast food Been a multiple shooting - Downtown at the bank Reluctantly the panic - Begins to catch fire But it did not affect - The steady sale of junk The state office looked - It looked like Hollywood With make-up bleeding - All over the cracks Whoa, he blew his lines - Facing the cameras He suffered the first - All live heart attack Oh, you've caught an even atom tan The motor-cyanide - Cyanide suicide He finally found - The brick wall in his life Shining up his engine - He dressed right up for it At the top of the speedo - He crumpled the bike There's plenty people runnin' - Runnin' for cover Hoping at best - To hold off all the rest Once last stand - At the bunker fire Machine gun - And pitchfork at breast Oh, you've caught an even atom tan But it isn't so easy - So easy for lovers Chained in love stained - At the top of the tower The pink hearse is leaving - At funeral speed Driving your heart - Away with the flowers All night I waited - I waited for a horseman And his ever faithful - His Indian friend I'm not the only one - Of the caped crusader fan club Watching the sky - For mankind's prayers Oh, you've caught an even atom tan ***
