(Strummer/Rhodes)



Rebels on the corner

Rebels to the core

Got a million dollar question

What is livin' for?



Hey! Man can scratch a livin'

In a fat man's city class

The teacher is survival

But soon the present will be the past



So!

Be cool under heat

Be cool under heat

Be cool on the street

Be cool under heat



When you're rockin' down

On a cold hard night

Pitiless eyes of the cityless souls

Narrow in the lights



Sorrow upon sorrow

Go ganging up in your head

You can leave it till tomorrow

If you can balance on the edge



Hey!

Be cool under heat

Be cool under heat

Be cool on the street

Be cool under heat



When the baby and you got to fight

Go cool your love in the rain

When the match refuses to strike

Show that you really are in pain



I'm giving you a warning

Gonna burn those blue suede shoes

Swagger in the mornin'

Prints up front page news



Be cool under heat

Be cool under heat

Be cool on the street

Be cool under heat
