I drive all night till early morning light
And still can't make it home
The hours seem long
I flip the radio on
And hear my favorite song

Won't you play it play it play it Mr. D.J.
And please don't take all night
Won't you play it play it play it Mr. D.J.
And I hope you get it right
I'm under pressure my mind's an all out war
I'm on a train take a backstreet
Just like Joey Strummer said
Big brother watching you like it's 1984
No rebel truce no train in vain no Sandinista
I wanna hear some more

The ticking of the clock
The minutes never stop
It's proof that time goes by
The hours seem long
I flip the radio on and hear that D.J. guy

Won't you play it play it play it Mr. D.J.
And please don't take all night
Won't you play it play it play it Mr. D.J.
And I hope you get it right
I'm under pressure my mind's an all out war
I'm on a train take a backstreet
Just like Joey Strummer said
Big brother watching you like it's 1984
No rebel truce no train in vain no Sandinista
I wanna hear some more

London's Calling no London's Burning
And I'm listening to the clash
I'm lost in the supermarket
I can't get no spending cash

I'm under pressure my mind's an all out war
I'm on a train take a backstreet
