The Clash - I'm So Bored With The USA

[badeyestrain]

What you can really do is join in protest, rekindle the dwindling occupation movments that are still out there in the hearts of many united states cities. The only way the movement can become a revolution, and ultimately create real positive outcomes, is if we who care take our turns in the social disobediance that is ongoing. "It's much easier if we approach it like tag team wrestling (Jello Biafra's comment on Occupy) people need to recoup, they can tag a partner in for their spot" he suggests

[BatmanOneOhOne]

The original title of this song was "I'm So Bored With You" and it was about Mick's girlfriend. Then Joe joined the band...

[buendia87]

fuck the USA

[dner75]

"Those killers in America work..seven days a week." So insanely true. If we Americans are industrious for any one single purpose, it's killing brown people.

[isaacbateman76]

Capitalism sucks~It destroy Italy and Greece~

[brentheraver]

a letter to the us

what the hell are we doing?

actully, you i may be american but i much rather be any other country

the politic and moral understanding of this country and less extreme of prerequiste regimes

i dont understand what your trying to attempt with the dealings and lashins you deal out? im so bored of this country, im moving away from here one day, probaly to amsterdam.....

[dner75]

@brentheraver I thew your letter in the trash with the rest of the junk mail I get. At least that junk mail is written with cogent English. If you're an American, you're a certainly a tragic failure of one.

[tuzza688]

ive always thought the intro of this sounded a bit like the sex pistols song pretty vacant

[kildare97]

@tuzza688 This came first.

[callowbastard11]

one of my faves off of that particular record.

[corraddo1]

cos killers in america work seven days a week

[TheMrbulls]

FUCK THE CAPITALISM!"PUNK NOT DEAD!

[casestudyification]

Then LEAVE!!!!!!!

[satanandzeppelin]

I say we just find some way to sneek Joe Strummer into office.

[oranbhoy67]

@satanandzeppelin did u not know he died??

[pussypop100]

@oranbhoy67 yes but regan and george fucking bush were both brain dead lol we would get more sense out of the late joe strummer rip 

[iwantcompletecontrol]

Yankee dollar talk

To the dictators of the world

They practice giving orders

And they can't afford to miss a word

Almost 35 years later and these words still ring true. Not just these words, but practically EVERY word the Clash sang in their songs. In a way I'm glad to see their amazing music stand the test of time and get the recognition it deserves, yet it's also incredibly disturbing that nothing has changed from generation to generation.

[IstariMusik]

hahahaha ive so bored of the USA, with a Mcdonalds youtube advert at the start, says it all, Long live the clash

[Flanntheman1]

Takes me back. Still sounds fresh though, doesn't it?

[JustaScotsman]

Over 30 years later and we are still bored with the fkn USA.!!

[finalprohphet]

Good song, that's exactly my thoughts to all the yanks.

[parkn63]
