Stiff Little Fingers
Closed Groove
[Verse 1]
Punctuality, waste of time
Now nostalgia is past its prime
History's a thing of the past
Being first just cannot last
[Chorus]
Beep, beep, I'm an answering machine
I mean to say I say what I mean
Beep, beep, I've got very strong views
Plug in any loop tape you choose
[Verse 2]
My one single fault is modesty
I'm changing my views consistently
Amnesia's something I try to forget
Who can't kick gambling? Want to bet?
[Chorus]
Beep, beep, I'm an answering machine
I mean to say I say what I mean
Beep, beep, I've got very strong views
Plug in any loop tape you choose
[Verse 3]
The case for racism is black and white
If you want world peace, you've got to fight
Must do what you're told to be free
Think what you like if you agree with me
[Chorus]
Beep, beep, I'm an answering machine
I mean to say I say what I mean
Beep, beep, I've got very strong views
Plug in any loop tape you choose
[Refrain]
Speak whenever you hear this tone
Speak whenever you hear this tone

Speak whenever you hear this tone
Scream whenever you hear this tone
Scream whenever you hear this tone
Scream whenever you hear this tone
Scream whenever you hear this tone
Scream whenever you hear this tone
