Lyrics
What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers
The judge said five to ten-but I say double that again
I'm not working for the clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
D'you know that you can use it?
The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
You grow up and you calm down
You're working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
You're working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
Make your first kill now
In these days of evil Presidentes
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
For working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong! (working for the clampdown)
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong! (working for the clampdown)
Yeah I'm working in Harrisburg
Working hard in Petersburg (working for the clampdown, working for the clampdown)
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Beggin' to be melted down
And I'll give away no secrets

"The only band that matters" is an even more fitting statement today, considering all the escapism around us.

@zombywoof7309 Месяц назад

But they're not nor were they ever. What they were was safe.

@baran6187 Месяц назад

@@zombywoof7309The moniker "the only band that matters" should be viewed in the context of social/political unpheavals and musical trends of the era. In the late 70s and early 80s, Britain was in the throes of massive economic inequality. The U.S, on the other hand, was mired in abject consumerism and recreational drug use by members of all classes. The music of the era, therefore, while fun and exciting, cultivated pure escapism. The Clash emerged in the midst of all these developments, and so their first album was filled with indignation about social injustice and inequality. But then the group evolved, and while maintaining their sociopolitical zeal, they integrated different musical styles into a cohesive sound, something that had never been done before. (Sandanista! is almost like a encylopedia of music.) The band members also eschewed the trap of wealth accumulation-- with the exception of the last phase of the group's existence--early in their career secretly ushering in moneyless fans into the venues and then releasing their third album practically for free. In line with these commitments, in 1983, they forced the US Festival organizers to donate $500000 to struggling bands, and, as they were on the verge of stardom, they decided to break up the group. Years later, the former members rejected an offer for millions of dollars by MTV to play a series of live shows. One other thing: The Clash inspired many aspiring musicians and song writers to write about issues other than love. The list is long. I don't think what I just described paints a picture of a "safe" band.

"Clampdown" is one of my favour CLASH songs, I can listen to it over and over and over again. Take Care, Bob ! Keep on Rockin', dude !!

Well I'd say the Sex Pistols were the creme de le creme when it came to punk, guitar riffs that are capable of giving you goosebumps, legendary songs such as "God save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the UK". The Clash and the Sex pistols must've found something in common seeing as they went on tour with each other.
