Joe Strummer feat. The Mescaleros Lyrics
"Shaktar Donetsk"

Possible chance, storm

Possible chance, gale

Welcome to Britain, in the third Millennium

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"

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 woolly 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"

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

Yeah, oh, he got a little postcard

Yeah, oh, everybody got a dream

Yeah, oh, he always got it with him

Yeah, oh, it's of a nineteen twenty-five

Red telephone box with Wembley in the background

Them twin tower vandal eye

Will he find a two bar heater

Waitin' 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
