Hate & War Lyrics
Hate and war, the only things we got today
An' if I close my eyes
They will not go away
You have to deal with it
It is the currency
Hate, hate, hate
The hate of a nation
A million miles from home
An' get war from the junkies
Who don't like my form
I'm gonna stay in the city
Even when the house fall down
I don't dream of a holiday
When hate an' war come around
Hate and war
I have the will to survive
I cheat if I can't win
If someone locks me out
I kick my back in
An' if I get aggression
I give it to them two time back
Every day it's just the same
With hate an' war on my back
Hate and war, I hate all the English
Hate and war, they're just as bad as wops
Hate and war, I hate all the politeness
Hate and war, I hate all the cops
I want to walk down any street
Looking like a creep
I don't care if I get beat up
By any Kebab Greek
An' if I close my eyes
They will not go away
You have to deal with it
It is the currency
Hate, hate, hate
The hate of a nation
A million miles from home
An' get war from the junkies
Who don't like my form
I'm gonna stay in the city
Even when the house fall down
I don't dream of a holiday
When hate an' war come around
Hate and war
I have the will to survive
I cheat if I can't win
If someone locks me out
I kick my back in
An' if I get aggression
I give it to them two time back
Every day it's just the same
With hate an' war on my back
Hate and war, I hate all the English
Hate and war, they're just as bad as wops
Hate and war, I hate all the politeness
Hate and war, I hate all the cops
I want to walk down any street
Looking like a creep
I don't care if I get beat up
By any Kebab Greek

great song, i'm surprised there's only one other comment.
anyway, i've always seen this song as the clash trying to say the hippy years failed and are over, and 'peace and love' have been replaced with 'hate and war'.
punk rock as hippie-counterpoint. Peace and Love? No, Hate and War!
So much for the age of aquarius...

I'm gonna stay in the city Even when the house fall down
Doesn't everybody the world over think this? The best song words ever.
ALSO - I hate all the English - just as bad as wops : the perfect definition of being British, you hate everybody and you hate yourself as well hahahahahaha.
The Clash WERE English.

i would stay in the city when my house fell down... IF I WASN'T ALREADY IN THE STUPID SUBURBS!!!
but only because peace and love never really had a chance and John Lennon, great as he was, only kidded himself
