Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk Rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway
I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just lookin' for fun
I'm only
Looking for fun
Oh please mister just leave me alone
i'm only looking for fun

Review about White Man In Hammersmith Palais one of the best songs ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/16/2008
this is deffo one of the best songs by the clash along with complete control. I really agree with the whole thing about new punk bands today only doin it for money and forgettin about the roots of punk rock and the rebellion, and who think that just by dressin like punks that they are.
R.I.P Joe Strummer ~ LEGEND!!
Best Clash song, | Reviewer: Russell | 9/25/2007
The clash made some amazing songs, but in my view white man is the best. end of. the lyrics are just pure Strummer Brilliance.
The Best Song Ever(JiMMy MacK) | Reviewer: JiMMy MacK | 1/11/2006
In my oppinion this track is not only the greatest song of many great songs that THE CLASH released but it is infact the greatest song ever recorded in the history of modern music. Its a hard hitting song written for THE CLASH's rock against racism campain and has tackled highly political subject and helped the good cause. The best band ever's best song truly brilliant.
