Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Diggin' The New Lyrics

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Lyrics

"Diggin' The New"

One of those top nights of the year
And I see everyone's here
Oh, took me a long time to get it
But when it's taken time, think and don't forget it

You gotta live in this world, go diggin' the new
Live in the world, boy, tran, or girl
Live in this world, oh get diggin' the new

I can see we're really close to something, it's feeling so near
But I got no time for the Luddites
Always looking back down the track
Saying "Can you spot one more detail, Jack?"

You gotta live in this world, go diggin' the new
Live in the world, boy, tran, or girl
Live in this world, oh get diggin' the new

Crashing head-on into the future
Won't even leave a dent
Just walk in like you own it
Remember it ain't set in cement

You gotta live in this world
Live in this world, go diggin' the new
Live in the world, boy, tran, or girl
Live in this world, get diggin' the new

Live in this world
You gotta live in this world, go diggin' the new
Live in the world, boy, tran, or girl
Live in this world, get diggin' the new
