London calling
Speak the slang now
Boys say what-gwan
Girls say what-gwan
London calling
Speak the slang now
Boys say what-gwan
Girls say what-gwan
Slam, galang galang galang
Galang galang galang galang galang
Shotgun, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Get, get, get down, down, down
Too late, you down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Blaze a blaze
Galang a lang a lang lang
Purple haze
Galang a lang a lang lang
Who the hell is hounding you in the BMW?
How the hell he find you, 147'd you
Feds gonna get you
Pull the strings on the hood
One paranoid youth
Blazing through the hood
Blaze a blaze
Galang a lang a lang lang
Purple haze
Galang a lang a lang lang
London calling
Speak the slang now
Boys say what-gwan
Girls say what-gwan
London calling
Speak the slang now
Boys say what-gwan
Girls say what-gwan
They say
"Rivers gonna run through
Work is gonna save you
Pray and you will pull through
Suck a dick'll help you
Don't let them get to you
If he's got 1 you get 2
Backstab your crew
Sell it, I could sell you"
Blaze a blaze
Galang a lang a lang lang
Purple haze
Galang a lang a lang lang
