The Call Up Lyrics

    (the clash)

    It's up to you not to heed the call-up
    'n' you must not act the way you were brought up
    Who knows the reasons why you have grown up?
    Who knows the plans or why they were drawn up?

    It's up to you not to heed the call-up
    I don't wanna die!
    It's up to you not to hear the call-up
    I don't wanna kill!

    For he who will die
    Is he who will kill

    Maybe i wanna see the wheatfields
    Over kiev and down to the sea

    All the young people down the ages
    They gladly marched off to die
    Proud city fathers used to watch them
    Tears in their eyes

    There is a rose that i want to live for
    Although, god knows, i may not have met her
    There is a dance an' i should be with her
    There is a town - unlike any other

    It's up to you not to hear the call-up
    'n' you must not act the way you were brought up
    Who give you work an' why should you do it?
    At fifty five minutes past eleven
    There is a rose...
    Yeah!
