Because its real you think its a joke
Because its on your doorstep you have to have a poke
At someone
Its only a cliche because its all true
Time after time it happens through and through
To a new generation
Youre just so smug in your elected seat
Youve got your papers sorted out but you cant find your feet
Well, Im not surprised
Hey mister with your head in the clouds
You cant see further than the shillings and pounds
The things that you say dont mean nothing anymore
You have no control theyve broken down all the doors
And the only way that youll fix them up
Is another war
If you think Im gonna die in a financial war
Youve got another thing coming and
And whats more theres lots like me
You juggle lives around with the stroke of a pen
But weve paid to see that move and now we wont pay again
The cost is too high
Hey mister your smiles been erased
You cant understand why were losing face
Perhaps its the promises that you never kept
Never had it so good
Well do you want a bet?

The Jam sono una leggendaria band punk rock britannica formatasi nel 1976 a Woking, Surrey, grazie all'iniziativa del poliedrico Paul Weller. Influenzati da artisti come The Beatles, The Kinks e The Who, hanno saputo coniugare sonorità melodiche con un ritmo deciso e una carica punk che li ha resi uno dei gruppi più importanti della scena musicale britannica degli anni '70 e '80. La formazione originale, composta da Weller (chitarra, voce), Bruce Foxton (basso) e Rick Buckler (batteria), è rimasta costante durante i sei anni di attività del gruppo. I The Jam hanno pubblicato sette album in studio, tra cui il loro capolavoro "Sound Affects" (1980), che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche. I brani più rappresentativi includono "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" e "Start!" . Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo nel 1982, Paul Weller ha continuato una carriera di successo come musicista solista, mentre Foxton e Buckler hanno intrapreso diverse collaborazioni musicali.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
