Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Shaktar Donetsk lyrics

Welcome to Britain in the third Millenium

This is the diary of a Macedonian, Macedonian

He went to Britain in the back of a lorry

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't hurry."

Said the man with the plan

He said, "If you really wanna go you'll get there in the end."

If you really wanna go alive or dead my friend

Well, you can levitate you know long as the money's good you're in

Or if you really wanna go you'll get there in the end

He had the wooly scarf of Shaktar Donetsk

Nay, the banner of freedom wrung around his neck

Inherited from his father

One of the Ukraine exiles of Yugoslavia

He said, "You'll get there in the end."

If you really wanna go alive or dead my friend

Well, you can levitate you know long as the money's good you're in

Or if you really wanna go you'll get there in the end

Yooh, he got a little postcard

Yooh, everybody got a dream

Yooh, he always got it with him

Yooh, it's of a nineteen twenty five

Red telephone box with Wembley in the background

Them twin tower vandalaye

Will he find a two bar heater

Waiting for him in two rooms

Above the cut rate telephone anywhere place

He got off the train in Shadwell, disappeared without trace

He said, "You'll get there in the end."

If you really wanna go alive or dead my friend

Well, you can levitate you know

long as the money's good you're in

Or if you really wanna go you'll get there in the end

Oiling the grinding city underside

Treating each flake of rust all over Humberside

You know a blocked generator could cut power to the city system

Well you'll get there in the end

Alive or dead my friend

You'll get there in the end

Alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go you'll get there in the end

If you really wanna go alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go you'll get there in the end

If you really wanna go alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go you'll get there in the end

If you really wanna go alive or dead my friend

If you really wanna go long as the money's good you're in

If you really wanna go you'll get there in the end
