Overpowered By Funk
Artist: The Clash
Albums: Combat Rock (1982)
Composers: The Clash


If you ain't reggae for it funk out!
No one knocking at your door? Funk out!
Overpowered by funk? Funk out!

Combatative, repetitive
Don't life just funk you out?

Asinine, stupefying
Can the clone line dry you out?

Part of the swarming mass? Funk out!
Slugged by the new increase? Funk out!
Scared of the human bomb? Funk out!
Overpowered by funk? Funk out!

Buy dog food, rogue elephants
Tarzan on a ticker tape

Breakfast, cereals?
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
Is her name in there?
Heh

Dustcarts and sunrise
No one gets off the hooks

Car crashed

Food for the hungry millions? Funk out!
Home for the floating people? Funk out!

Overdrunk on power, the power!

This is a message from Futura
Don't prophecize the future
I liven up the culture
Because I'm deadly as a vulture (overdrunk on power)
I paint on civilization
I have this realization (funk out!)
It's environmentally wack
So presenting my attack
You know, I'll brighten up the shack (overdrunk on power)
I'm down by law and that's a fact (funk out!)
Just give me a wall
Any building dull or tall (overdrunk on power)
I spray clandestine night subway (funk out!)
I cover red purple on top of grey, hey
No slashing cuz it ain't the way (overdrunk on power)
The T.A. blew 40 mil they say (funk out!)
We thew down by night
And they scrubbed it off by day (the power)

OK tourists, picture frame
Tickets here for the graffiti train
Funkpower over and out (lookin' for it)
Funk funk funk f...
Funk funk funk funk funk (at your door)
Funk funk funk funk
Funk funk funk funk

Ha!
Funk out!
Ha!
Funk out!
