Dictator - The Clash

Yes I am the dictator, the more guns I got the better

Yes I am the liquidator, I carry the old Beretta

You know there once was freedom

You know how dangerous that can be

The people used to dance and sing

And they used to run wild in the streets

But now I am the voice howling from your radio

From my armour-plated cadillac you’ll hear what I say goes

Yes I am the dictator, I satisfy the US team

I always do my killing in the woods and keep the city gutters clean

'Cause I need a few more dollars for my fighter pilot to be free

To dive bomb on the population if they go running wild in the streets

Yes I am that voice…

Yes I am the crusader, I spent twenty years in exile

But now I am the invader and I’m never never gonna die

Yes I am the dictator, my name is on your ballot sheet

But until my box has your cross you know the form is incomplete

And you know…
