I woke up at 4:30 this morning, and out of nowhere, the words "Boomtown Rats" popped into my head. Glad they did. Hadn't thought of this in years. Played the hell out of Tonic for the Troops back in the day.
Doesn't matter if a poor video or mime. Do we all wind up like Clockwork to every thing we are told, or do we have our own Opinions. This song says no we dont

Boomtown Rats were amazing, especially Bob Geldof, that is actually amazing.
I'm 17, but they're my favourite band.

this was one of the first singles i ever bought, with the band being associated with punk i thought there must be something evil about it.
