The Clash - I'm So Bored With The U.S.A With Lyrics

[bodsnvimto]

If they were bored with it then, what must they think now? Our kids are being raised on wall-to-wall Americana. Music, telly, junk food, sportswear, social networking outlets...

Every time I turn around it seems another traditional English word has been replaced by its US counterpart. Guarantees are warranties, brand-new is state-of-the-art, biscuits are as often as not cookies, buns are cupcakes, bums are buns, tramps are bums...

All roads lead to Rome I suppose (figuratively speaking).

[blancmage31]

My favorite Clash song. cheers from the U.S.A. :)

[e0o9kii]

I'm board of Earth. Let's see what Martians are up to. They seem fun.

[ItsNOYFB]

@e0o9kii Yeah me to and the people that infest it. :P

[e0o9kii]

@ItsNOYFB Yeah. I mean, I'm an American-Filipino and living in the US, Phil and NZ. It's really been nothing but stress and problems. I guess we're all just trying to get through life.

[ItsNOYFB]

@e0o9kii I hear you I'm Russian American here in NY and i have to say it's true The US is in the tolit economically and England is not far behind with all of the riots due to the cutbacks on medical,millitary pension paymeants etc and the euro dollar is in bad shape b/c Greece,Spain and Italy have great debts and are ready to default on their loan paymeants. Oh and now Germany will have to pick up this mess witch will wreck their economy. I guess no matter were in the world you are life sucks!

[ItsNOYFB]

@e0o9kii Sorry ran out of room. Anyway in this word people in general tend to be some kind of low life one way or the other witch seems to get worse when the world is in a financial crisis. The people become douche bags and the one who already were douche bags become douche nozzles. So in conclusion you're right life get's into the same repreative BS all the time witch makes it boreing and seeing as there's no were to get away from it all, that makes it pretty much unbearable.

[agnim05]

fucking politician "gringos"

[goducks20101]

i'm sooo bored, I'll soak my feet !!!

[Milkshakeguy]

i've always wished i was born in the UK.

[jerryonlysucks]

@Milkshakeguy gay

[Milkshakeguy]

@jerryonlysucks fuck you, you know you do it too

[jerryonlysucks]

@Milkshakeguy unlike other fuckaz im open minded 

[Milkshakeguy]

@jerryonlysucks uh... off topic much?

[nksharpshooter]

@Milkshakeguy the troll likes being fed, don't feed em not worth it. ;D

[jerryonlysucks]

@themusicmatterz i also do my research fucka said that ' General George Armstrong Custer ' was a good man last time i checked he massacred native americans like i said "DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ"

[jerryonlysucks]

@themusicmatterz what are you joe strummer himself? you the clash huh? i tell people i dont smoke but i do anyways dont believe what u read sucka!

[Milkshakeguy]

nothin can top rockin out to the clash like a nerd alone in your room

[blueridger28]

@jenssalumae2 Im sure that happens everywhere else. but the fact is these people and ideas revoultionized music forever. Its hard to say late reconition only happens in America. As far as the Ramones being unkowns that just doesnt make any sense

[kronenburg77]

RIP joe strummer !!!!

[TheRickynow]

Clash Classic!

[nottippinem]

joe strummer was a genius..RIP

[nottippinem]

great song....the clash always new how to get attention...i love this song...dont get all holier than thou...they may really be bored with the u s a

[LifeInInfrared]

i have an idea that will unfortunately never come true. Everyone stops generalizing people based on where they're from, and we all look at ourselves as a whole, that we're all in this hell-of-a-world together. After all, the only way humans have survived for this long is by two things, brains and teamwork.

[blueridger28]

Alot of you never been to the U.S. Good culture, when you take out all the asshole politicians runin her into the ground.

[LordClaremorris]

@blueridger28 A lot* running* Perhaps your "Good Culture" is conspicuously absent of proper English?

[blueridger28]

@LordClaremorris Drinkin effects my grammer not my judjment buddy.

[LordClaremorris]

@blueridger28 Drinking? Well that's certainly very cultured. Nothing more sophisticated than drunkards I dare say.

[blueridger28]

@LordClaremorris Yea well. what about The Ramones, Duke Elington, Thomas Edison,Billie Holiday, Jhony Cash, MArvin Gaye, Martin Luther King, Leanord Peltier, Emma Goldman, Ben Franklin, Jazz, Blues, Rock music, just to name a few. but i could make an even longer list of the things that made this country shity but thats a whole other story all togeather. Look past our shity foreign policy and you will c a rich, diverse culture.

[3tangle3]

The funny thing is................USA is a rogue state as its a law unto itself

[primeholyassasin20]

Sounds Like strummer's bickering about US 70's TV in the second verse. Still, if he knew the reality TV junk that was put on TV in the US these days, he'd be rolling in his grave. Or he'd write a part 2 to this song.

[rutlandplace]

NUN OF YOU CUNTS LIVED IN THIS TIME. HERE'S HOW IT WENT . YOU WAKE UP YOU GO DOWN THE DHSS AND DEMAND A GRANT. BABY. FURNITURE COAL GRANT. WHAT NOT. YOU TAKE THAT SCRACHER CASH. YOU GO ON THE PISS ALL DAY. THE MONEY WOZ GONE I WAS A PADDY FROM DUBLIN. EASY MONEY UP TO MAGY TAKING OVER. IT WOZ HARD. SHE CALLED US THE SOMTHING FOR NOTHING SOCITY.HOW IRONIC THE BITCH IS LIVING 5 BLOCKS FROM ME WITH ROUND THE CLOCK SAS BODY GUARDS. WHAT BODY. IM RETIRED I.N.L.A .

[animalboy56]

[BULLSEYEICEMAN]

[GreekSuremen]

Now now children, let's remember that as humans, we're all around 99% geneticaly identical...

White people from the US were from Europe at some time. Need some love for your ancestors right there.

[ClockworkAnimal1]

sabbathtage25 : No matter where I am from because this information doesn´t change americans

[i1extinct1i]

I'm so bored with the U.S.A.

[ClockworkAnimal1]

Honour to cheesburgers ,coca cola and very small brain who has every PROUD AMERICAN !!!

[ADHDoffdawalls]

@ClockworkAnimal1  learn to speak english dumbass

[jenssalumae2]

@ADHDoffdawalls It says in his profile he's from the Czech Republic. I bet you can't speak a single word of Czech. So, until you're competant in Czech I wouldn't mock his second language skills.

[ClockworkAnimal1]

@ADHDoffdawalls I mustn´t use english every day like you wanker so don´t be stupid... you americans mostly think that you´re the most clever people in the universe.I´m so sorry but it isn´t true.

[ADHDoffdawalls]

@ClockworkAnimal1 can you hear the bombs dropping yet fuckhole

[ClockworkAnimal1]

@ADHDoffdawalls wait !.....no. :( I just see you are writing to me bollox

[sabbathtage25]

@ClockworkAnimal1 shut the fuck up, limey. You've probably never even been to the States. I've been to England and you fuckers could use a suntan and some orthodontia.

[jenssalumae2]

@sabbathtage25 He's CZECH (Not British)

Oh and by the way, you could due with an attitude change, no wonder the world sees Americans as nobheads with such shining examples as yourself

[billsfan4evR]

I'm from the USA and I'm bored with it. We've got a lot of idiots over here.

[americanyesca]

I love THE CLASH and think its funny that people dont listen to music, they just hear it and decide what its about from the chours or the title.

[gamer4life444]

What does 'Starsky' and 'Kojak' mean?

[jenssalumae2]

@gamer4life444 "Starsky" refers to Starsky off "Starsky and Hutch" an extremely popular 70s American Cop series revolving around two policemen, Starsky and Hutch.

"Kojak" was another American Cop series, this one about a detective called Kojak based in New York

[Dinos86Senior]

@jenssalumae2

Lol Kojak was kickass.

[SdSwedeBurrito]

The intro sounds like pretty vacant by the sex pistols.

[sexpistolsliveee]

Fuck, this video is actually blocked in my country, so i used a proxy server to see it.

Thanks for the video.

[guitargczr699]

'Cos killers in America

Work seven days a week

Best line ever!! <3

[dfk12]

The song is a response to American domination of popular culture in Europe; its main lyric line is a parody of songs like beach boyrs' surfin USA.

[pisartist]

Is it about the loss of cultural identity to Americanisms?

[ToniaRose12]

The U.S.A is pretty boring...or maybe it's just Iowa. And to beat stereotypes Iowa is not completely cornfeilds there are cities you know

[Goikoetxea82]

@ToniaRose12 Hahahaha Iowa? U gotta come to NYC... GOTTA LOVE THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS :p

[ToniaRose12]

@Goikoetxea82 Des Miones doesn't sleep here I swear there is constantly a bunch of drunk jerks hanging around every corner. Ill get to NYC some day but its Cali first becuz it isnt nearly as cold.

[MrAwesomesauce101]

i think they mean by america is now dominated by politics and you dont hear anything but politics

[MrAwesomesauce101]

amercia has to much on its plates for the future

[MrAwesomesauce101]

[BenHughesLlan]

@jenssalumae2 Wise words

[gregsky01]

@jenssalumae2 Scotland owns both you guys ;). Nah but seriously, I've heard that Canada are way better off than America.

[jenssalumae2]

@gregsky01 Your channel says you're from Dundee! You're heading for a heart attack in that downtrodden city at 55 ;)

[gregsky01]

@jenssalumae2 haha, I agree, I hate this place. To be honest I'll probably end up going to Edinburgh or Glasgow. Actually spend most of my time at Perth at the moment due to college. Try to spend as little time in Dundee as possible. So whereabouts in Wales you from?

[jenssalumae2]

@gregsky01 The North, near-ish to Wrexham. I'll go South in the future, spend a few years in Cardiff or Swansea before coming back up to the North.

[BenHughesLlan]

@jenssalumae2 where abouts in Wrexham you from, Im from Llangollen about ten miles down the road...
