Atom Tan by The Clash Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now the corporations stopped
(Stopped pushing fast food)
Been a multiple shooting
(Downtown at the bank)
Reluctantly the panic
(Begins to catch fire)
But it did not affect
(The steady sale of junk)
Oh, the state office looked
(It looked like Hollywood)
With make-up bleeding
(All over the cracks)
Whoa he blew his lines
(Facing the cameras)
He suffered the first
All live heart attack

[Chorus]
Oh, you've caught an even atom tan
[Verse 2]
The motor-cyanide
(Cyanide suicide)
He finally found
(The brick wall in his life)
Shining up his engine
(He dressed right up for it)
At the top of the speedo
(He crumpled the bike)
There's plenty people running
(Running for cover)
Hoping at best
(To hold off all the rest)
One last stand
(At the bunker fire)
Machine gun and pitchfork at breast

[Chorus]
Oh, you've caught an even atom tan

[Verse 3]
But it isn't so easy
(So easy for lovers)
Chained in love stained
(At the top of the tower)
The pink hearse is leaving
(At funeral speed)
Driving your heart
(Away with the flowers)
All night I waited
(I waited for a horseman)
And his ever faithful
(His Indian friend)
I'm not the only one
(Of the caped crusader fan club)
Watching the sky
For mankind's friend
[Outro]
Oh, you've caught an even atom tan
