The Clash:Red Angel Dragnet

From Lyriki

I come from a long way away
And I know a fine thing when I see it
See it
For the same reason no one ever
Pointed a telescope at the sun
Talking about the Red Angels of NY City

Who shot the shot?
Who got shot tonight?
Who shot the shot?
Who got shot tonight?

Not even fire enforcement agencies can save their own
Never mind the people
Tonight it's raining on the Angels of the City
Did anyone prophesize these people?

Only Travis
Come in Travis

"All the animals come out at night
Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick venal
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets"

"Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. Listen you screwheads:
Here is a man who would not take it anymore
A man who stood up against the scum, the filth
Now I see clearly"

Personally, I know the alley
Where Jack feeds on the birds of night
Not even bubbies bicycling 2x2
Can stop the blood and feathers flying

Who got shot tonight?
Who got shot tonight?
Who got shot tonight?

Wearing overalls and for once and for all
What is the dream?
I'll tell it
To live like they do in the movies?
So what? You listening?
Yeah, I bet you are

Hands up for Hollywood
Hooray
I hear you
Snappy on the air
Hanging there
Wall to wall
You saved the world
What else?
You saved the girl
Champagne on ice
No stranger to Alcatraz
To boot
Or strip it down
Chop it a lil'
Being reasonable
Just freedom to move
To live (who got shot tonight?)
For women to take a walk in the park at midnight
Hey, but this is serious
She can't even get back home

Who got shot tonight?

Who shot the shot that cropped the crop and chopped the chop and then it dropped?

One of this days I'm gonna get myself organizized.
