She had all the tattoos and the piercings Hates everything, says everybody's wrong She dressed like she slept with Guns 'N Roses But I busted her singin' all the boyband songs
She had to go Simply because And I let her go Like she never was 'Cuz I didn't know And I don't care what she does She had to go 'cuz she didn't know who Joe Strummer was
Hey!
At night when we stood in line for hours Waiting to see my favorite punk rock band I bled with the passion and the power But she's only there for all the fashion trends With her clueless friends
She had to go (She had to go) Simply because (Simply because) And I let her go (I let her go) Like she never was (Like she never was) 'Cuz I didn't know (I didn't know) And I don't care what she does (Simply because) She had to go 'cuz she didn't know who Joe Strummer was (Joe Strummer was) Joe Strummer was (Joe Strummer was)
She started talkin' 'bout bein' my wife But why would I wanna be with someone who doesn't know The Clash Save my life?
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Go!
It's not that she didn't rock my casbah It's not that I couldn't burn her London down It's just that she kept on disappearing Whenever the Sandanistas came to town And burned it down!
She had to go (She had to go) Simply because (Simply because) And I let her go (I let her go) Like she never was (Like she never was) 'Cuz I didn't know (I didn't know) and I don't care what she does (Simply because) She had to go 'cuz she didn't know who Joe Strummer was (Joe Strummer was) Joe Strummer was (Joe Strummer was) Joe Strummer was (Joe Strummer was) Joe Strummer was (Joe Strummer was)
She had to go (She don't know Joe) She had to go (She don't know Joe) She had to go (She don't know Joe) She had to go (She don't know Joe) Go!
