Night is down in insect town I'm sitting here glued to the glowing tube Tedious, tedium, flowing slow I'm crying for something I could really use
We're worker ants, or ants with wings Saying "God I'm high" or "Christ, I'm late" Asking girls and women "Won't you show us the way To crumple sheets and naughtier things? " But it's sad, so sad
The old people never had not quite so bad (not this way, anyway) And it,s sad, sad, sad
The sadness of a long dead star on late night TV The sadness of shooting away your bloom And of old crumpled men in their workday suits And telephones ringing in empty rooms
All the birs have flown from the uptown And a family I know has built an ark It's been raining long in a steady flow And newspaper headlines read bad and stark But is sad, so sad
The old people never had not quite so bad. And it,s sad, sad, sad
The sadness of a long dead star on late night TV The sadness of shooting away your bloom And of old crumpled men in their workday suits And telephones ringing in empty rooms
Ska, ska...

SKa, Ska,....
gente de Babilonía, si quieren estar equivocado tienen que ser fuertes Si no se irán Abajo, abajo abajo
pueden morder la mano del que les da de comer escupir a ésos que lo necesitan Pero cuando sean viejos, quien va a alimentarlos ¿Cuando esten por su cuenta?
Escucho a mis hermanos negros todos los días Decir cómo han sido maltratados de tantas maneras Bien, ¿y nosotros Rasta? Algunos de nosotros fuimos tratado del mismo modo
Miro y todo lo que veo es Basura blanca en Babilonía Basura blanca en London Basura blanca aquí en la ciudad de Buenos Aires
Ska, Ska....
gente de argentina comen su carne todos los días Y se visten tan bien Qué hay de sus hermanos en África
Moribundo, hambriento ¿Constantemente? Bien, pueden morder la mano.... Miro y todo que veo lo es Basura blanca en Birmingham Basura blanca en Twinckenham Basura blanca donde vivo en Hurlingham.
