You lit a flame in my heart 
And it is burning still 
And every time I hear you shout 
It still gives me a thrill 
I can see you up there 
With your right leg pumping 

Goodbye inspiration 
Voice of a generation 
Goodbye Inspiration 
I won't be playing Strummerville again 

You wore your heart on your sleeve 
With honesty and pride 
You gave me hope,made me believe 
That what I did was right 
You brought out a passion 
That had long been missing 
Yeah you brought out a passion 
That you never stopped giving 

Goodbye inspiration 
Voice of a generation 
Goodbye Inspiration 
I won't be playing Strummerville again 

Goodbye inspiration 
Voice of a generation 
Goodbye Inspiration 
I won't be playing Strummerville again 

And if music seems mundane 
It's cos the companies get their own way 
And all the young bands seem to say 
Please turn our rebellion into money 

So thanks for giving me my creed 
I'll try to stay onside 
Y'or helping me to dare to dream 
After all this time 
Cos I still see you up there 
On a stage and playing 
Yeah I still see you up there 
I still agree with what your saying 

Goodbye inspiration 
Voice of a generation 
Goodbye Inspiration 
I won't be playing Strummerville again 

Goodbye inspiration 
Voice of a generation 
Goodbye Inspiration 
I won't be playing Strummerville again
