The Clash - Cheat Lyrics

I get violent when I'm fucked up
I get silent when I'm drugged up
Want excitement, don't get none, I go wild

I don't know what can be done about it
If you play the game you get nothing out of it
Find out for yourself try bein' a goody-goody

You better cheat-cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat-cheat or don't get anywhere
Cheat-cheat if you can't win

Nobody knows what they are doing
It's beyond your control, an' Friday night's a ruin
If you want to survive you better learn how to lie

You better cheat-cheat
No reason to play fair
Cheat-cheat or don't get anywhere
Cheat-cheat if you can't win

Don't use the rules
They're not for you, they're for the fools
And you're a fool if you don't know that
So use the rules, you stupid fool
