  • Drug stabbing time
    Well I got working on the Ford line
    A paying off the big fine
    Drug stabbin' time

    Drug stabbin' time
    Is from nine to nine
    Nobody wants a user
    Nobody needs a loser
    So kick him out that door
    An' don't answer it no more

    Drug stabbin' time
    It's a Greenwich Mean Time
    Your friends all hate each other you think
    You've got another
    But who's at the door?
    Don't answer it no more

    Drug stabbin' time
    In a bedroom crime
    There's a tape recording on a telephone line
    An' it's ringin' from the floor
    So don't answer it no more

    Now I was lying in my room
    It was raining drugs all afternoon
    I hear this car pull up outside
    Comes to a stop like, skreeee

    Someone's in a hurry
    'N someone better worry
    'Cos these four guys all had on their feet
    A pair of black shoes shining and neat
    I thinks

    Black shoes on
    No that's bad news
    Here they come charging up the stairs alright
    Sonny just tell us where

    Drug stabbin' time
    Don't ask me mate
    Working on the ford line
    Paying off the big fine
    Drug stabbin' time Writer/s: JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES, PAUL SIMONON, TOPPER HEADON
