THE CALL UP As recorded by The Clash (From the 1980 Album  SANDINISTA!) [Intro] [Verse 1] It’s up to you not to heed the call-up You must not act the way you were brought up Who knows the reasons why you have grown up? Who knows the plans or why they were drawn up? It’s up to you not to heed the call-up I don’t wanna die! [Chorus] It’s up to you not to hear the call-up I don’t wanna kill! For he who will die Is he who will kill [Verse 2] Maybe I wanna see the wheatfields    Over Kiev and down to the sea    [Chorus] It’s up to you not to hear the call-up I don’t wanna die! It’s up to you not to hear the call-up I don’t wanna kill! [Verse 3] All the young people down the ages They gladly marched off to die Proud city fathers used to watch them    Tears in their eyes    [Chorus] It’s up to you not to hear the call-up I don’t wanna die! It’s up to you not to hear the call-up I don’t wanna kill! For he who will die   Is he who will kill   [Interlude]        [Verse 4] There is a rose that I want to live for Although God knows I may not have met her There is a dance an’ I should be with her There is a town - unlike any other [Verse 5] It’s up to you not to hear the call-up ’N’ you must not act the way you were brought up Who give you work an’ why should you do it? At fifty five minutes past eleven There is a rose.. [Interlude] [Outro] It’s up to you not to hear the call-up It’s up to you not to hear the call-up I don’t wanna die! There is a rose that I want to live for It’s up to you not to hear the call-up
