Always relevant!!



[jeepwranglergirl1234]

This and London Calling are two of my fav songs! long live punk!

[0Megaman0]

I got a part time job at Walmart (to pay for my schooling) and it's fucking sad especially the young ones who just got out of university and are working there with a shirt and tie on like that's the rest of your life right there, working in an office in a Walmart store fucking depressing.

[TheClashToday]

Free lyrics!

The offered me the office, offered me the shop

They said I'd better take anything they'd got

Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?

Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?

Career opportunities are the ones that never knock

Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock

Career opportunity, the ones that never knock

[TheClashToday]

I hate the army an' I hate the R.A.F. I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat I hate the civil service rules And I won't open letter bombs for you Bus driver....ambulance man....ticket inspector They're gonna have to introduce conscription They're gonna have to take away my prescription If they wanna get me making toys If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice Careers Careers Careers Ain't never gonna knock

[RobotSPACEclown]

This album is completely relevant right about now...

[moshimonsttar]

cool

[BoneMachine0]

I was reminded of this song by a Speedway job application - It said "Career Opportunities" on the top. I couldn't get the song out of my head after that.

[jamesbullet55]

Still so relevant today. Rip Joe. Bloody genius!

[siouxise82]

Bus driver, ambulance man, ticket isnpector...I don't understand!!!

[TheFreezy93]

Its kinda sad that this songs still relevant.

[RubberBanditsfan1]

Fuck that 1 lesbian justin boober fan

[MyAruga]

rip Joe Music Genius.

[rama1893cfc]

Do you really wanna be a cop?!?!?!

[redstarboy93]

Do you wanna make tea at the BBC? Do you wanna be do you really wanna be a cop ?

[ariesscorpiorising]

Standguide- I SHIT on U  ;-D

[Laidleypunk12]

My bands covering this song ... :D

[fuckyourudey]

I could be the next Joe Strummer. :)



[plasmidsheep]

@fuckyourudey What?

[fuckyourudey]

I wonder what is in store for my future...

[runtburger2]

if i had a time machine i would go back to1977 and do it all again what fun my best time ever

[DelStrainComedy]

@runtburger2 Hell yes blessed to be born even in 5 million unemplyed and Thatcher i wouldnt have changed it for world.Unlike most of my pier group that never made 30-Clash City Rockers.

[theclash24]

@runtburger2 i'd go back in time with all their songs and make my own band and become famous off their songs, pwnt.

[uea978]

I'm the one they never pick...

[Dangerous2099]

This album seems strikingly relevant right about now.

[Albana132]

@Dangerous2099 it probably will be relevant forever... :/

[ColodeHurlingham]

life´s a rat race

[Julez2770]

I'm becoming an investigative journalist. Remember this comment because ten years from now, I'll be on the news for bringing the truth to light about some corrupt government or company and I'll give this vid a shout-out!

[stylerz00r]

@Julez2770 Good luck! And remember that the system is a lie! FUCK THE SYSTEM!

[GoronCityEnterprises]

@Julez2770 kill capitalism

[MikeDrumsIt]

@autograph1984 @pwyndam Even Joe Strummer himself said that without music, he would've ended up staying homeless. He found his opportunity and look where it led him.

[DelStrainComedy]

Bad times to be young its all a con do what makes you happy,money isnt everything contentment and being able to sleep at night works for me, No man born with a living soul Working for the Clampdown.. Its the best years of youre life they want to steal..All their in Lyrics.

[btcc11]

I'm thirteen and I've gotta say, life is fucking scary, I'm nowhere near knowing what I want/am going to do at this rate I'm going to be homeless!

[fartonme7]

@btcc11 I'm too inexperienced in life to tell you to worry, but if it makes you feel better, I'm in the same boat as your are an I'm in my first year of college.

[DelStrainComedy]

Proud to say im 43 and have done what i want everyday thanks to The Clash..Hasnt all been plain sailing but i wouldnt have changed it for the World..One life live it as you see right dont be a sheep and use youre brain Stay Free Clash City Rockers. The Clash the best band in the World END OF.

[dminnich6062]

Hey I now play in band at 40s never gave up fuck all the shit

[stylerz00r]

@dminnich6062 Once you start playing music, it becomes your destiny :)

[Nostalgikern]

"If they want to get me making toys,

if they want to get me, well, I've got no choice"

[maddieo1234]

I NOW HATE COPS! I DONT REALLY WANT TO BE A COP JOE STRUMMER!

[boonboy1]

one of the best albums of all time. still remember buying it still play it fucking great

[SchimmyDeanie29]

my dad and i used to listen to this when I was 5 so this is kinda implanted in my brain.

[idospeakenglish]

It's amazing that a song from the late 70s sounds like an anthem for my generation. Then again, it's The Clash, so I probably shouldn't be surprised.

[ThePatoExperience]

That 1 dislike - it's the man.

[AustinIsAPunkRocker]

@ThePatoExperience the 1%'rs.



[chachionacid]

@ThePatoExperience lol there is 4 men now!

[eldeano1]

@chachionacid They're multiplying D:

[RandomFoolishness]

This sounds kinda wierd after only having heard the version on "Sandinista!" Anyone who's heard that version will know what I mean.

[HuWanKu]

@RandomFoolishness Yeah I know what you mean, but both versions are great, I love the chorus of children on the Sandinista version.

[BlackMagic8520]

Dude on the left looks like Pat Thetic from Anti-Flag.

[Bountykilla82]

@baph777 The Sex pistols would do it in a heart beat for the money So Take your self righteousness and stuff it where the sun done shine Thats what BLACK FLAG WOULD TELL YOU

[joeharvard]

Your job can be just a job, too. I think it's cool that someone who can make a living in the 'straight' world is still committed to the values SOME of us found & embraced in punk. Back when it happened. So u can rock yr CPA gig, or yr Dairy Queen gig, or whatever u have 2 do but keep your values intact. Don't 4get the 1st Clash LP was So Bored With the USA but Joe named his last band after an essentially american [via mexico] historical phenomenon ... folks grow, change.

[TheDazza1979]

Great song about how the government controls people. Bring back a socialist government! power to the people!

[anthony1999ization]

joe strummer rules

[pwyndam]

@baph777 You obviously haven't read up on many interviews with Joe Strummer or Johnny Rotten. Complete opposite of what you and many people that don't know what's up seem to think punk rock is all about. Ever heard of infiltration? Think about it man. "while we walk the streets to chicken to even try it". We must get into positions where we can influence the assholes that rule. I'm doing my small part by protecting investors from greedy, evil, real sell out Corporations with no soul. Come on.

[fuzzBart]

why are people commenting about that sack of shit Obama on here anyway???? pbrick why dont you move to fucking Cuba now thats the kind of Government a twat like you can get behind.. or under the bootheel of isnt it ...

[gsxr7nut]

@pbrick6301 'well as i understand it on the 6th day god created the clash,,,,, so STFU!

[sharkabilly]

Long live Obama and the Clash!!!!

[TheManolakis]

@sharkabilly idiot

[sharkabilly]

@TheManolakis Intolerant creep.

[SMAAKO311]

hey pbrick6301 shut the hell up, screw u and ur god why do u bring up the future of children ur saying it like every kid in the U.S. has a good life when this stupid country critizes other countrys when it cant even fix the problems it has here and long live obama my ass he hasnt done crap since hes been in office so u and ur stupid comment make me puke

[pbrick6301]

These hooligans never should of been allowd in the USA. Thank God that the USA rejected them too. They barely ever sold any albums over here. The Clash makes all real Americans puke. So do most of the internet posts I see here too. I love God and I hate the Clashs songs because I believe that children are the future and they dont need to be hearing hogwash like this. Long Live OBAMA!!!!

[kronenburg77]

@pbrick6301 fuck off you arogant twat !!!!!! this is proper music unlike the justin bieber and jay-z shi you fat americans listen too !! 3 words: FAT UNEDUCATED CUNT

[potorox28]

:)

[potorox28]

where's the love button? i all I see is the like button

[primeholyassasin20]

Sounds like Strummer & Jones have written the perfect anthem for those frustrated in unemployment and confused about career goals. I graduated college, but my career is still in uncertain, undefined waters, and I'm frustrated at how the times are making all my choices difficult, so i share some of the frustration shown in this song.

[idontsurf999]

Why does this have to be the story of my effing life?

[louis27195]

unemployed and 16. i wont join the army, i wont join the raf

[lilmisundastood]

your all a bunch of spanners,...its not a fucking contest about whos most political cuz if it was u-friggan 2 would have won ....and there complete sell outs

[Kingrob30]

I won't open live bombs for u!! Great song love the lyrics!

[strummer114]

its about the sound 

[unospeciale1993]

oh joe im glad you cant see the current state of music

[KrzyCanuck]

Why did Joe have to die? We need him more than ever now!

[weenerwallet]

The Clash was heavily influenced by the Ramones. THis track is pretty explicit to my point.

But I've gotta hand it, good fucking lyrics!!

I FOOKNG luv the CLASHH!!!!!!

[weenerwallet]

I FOOKNG luv the CLASHH!!!!!!

[poopmastaflex707]

@weenerwallet actullay dude they were influenced by the sex pistols i love the ramones but they did not influence the clash

[weenerwallet]

@poopmastaflex707 its alright. I f I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but double check coz I've always had the impression that even the SEX pistols were influenced by the Ramones.

so the clash being influenced by the sex pistols honestly makes no sense to me since they did start in similar length and times of the clash..and the Ramones on the other hand started way before. like, since 1966

[misfitsruby]

@weenerwallet sex pistols sucked

ramones was only good live

[weenerwallet]

@misfitsruby i agree. I'm more of a clash fan and fuck..I'm lucky I could see the ramones live. Argentina had the BEST Ramones shows ever.

[poopmastaflex707]

@misfitsruby ur fucking stupid sex pistols kicked ass and so did the ramones so shut the fuck up u little bieber loving queer

[misfitsruby]

@poopmastaflex707 sex pistols was in it for the image thats y they let sid viscious in even though he couldn't play the bass

i said the ramones were only good live and they had no political songs

listen to the crass

[poopmastaflex707]

@misfitsruby sex pistols were in to get out the ghetto u dumbass



[UTFRG]

You know I would become a punk band drummer or a biologist Ha if anyone thought punks were dumb how does a grade of A on the hardest biology exam i have ever done sound you dipshits

[3tangle3]

@UTFRG get to uni....we need biologists to cure all the fucking shite disorders.....music is a form to inspire others to do great things

[rumputuski]

Unemployed at the moment and feel I can really relate.

[kingrob29]

@rumputuski Same hear keep ya head up!

[autograph1984]

i don't even know what the fuck i wanna do with the rest of my life

[pwyndam]

@autograph1984 It's really tough Man. I know and I hear ya. I played in punk rock bands and was poverty until I was 30. I never thought I'd find something I liked for work. Now I'm a CPA and work at a cool Company doing accounting work, and I still play and record punk rock. The skies the limit man. I wish you all the best and hope you find something you're passionate about to make a decent living. Don't ever give up on your dreams!

[autograph1984]

@pwyndam thanks your your words man, really. appreciated man =)

[4l4ddin77]

@pwyndam

that comment makes me feel a lot more hopeful about my own situation. im in my early 20s now, playing in a cover band, having fun, but going nowhere. broke as a joke. i get crazy nervous about the future, but its good to know things can turn out like they did for you man. thanks for givin me another door.

[pwyndam]

@4l4ddin77 Hang in there man. Never give up. You are capable of accomplishing so much in life. We tend to put false limits on ourselves because we place too much belief on what others think and say about us and reality. If I believed what the nay sayers said about me I'd be nowhere and probably in a nut farm or dead. Keep the faith Brother! You'll look back and go wow, I achieved a lot inspite of all the obstacles whether imaginary or real. Plow right thru the assholes. There's a ton of em' ; )

[quanny1time]

@pwyndam sell out!

[pwyndam]

@quanny1time Typical 24 year old wanker living off the dole, bleeding the system, not giving anything worth shit back, just take take take. When you grow up and become a man and pull the head outta yer stank ass, maybe just maybe you'll begin to understand what Strummer meant when he said 'while we walk the streets, too chicken to even try it.' Were never gonna take over and make things better if we're too lazy or afraid to get into positions of power. So, keep thinking you know what's up chump

[catbuffalo]

@pwyndam

Screw power it can't touch me.

[jamesbullet55]

@pwyndam Ignore that guy. Anyone makes something of themselves they instantly become a "sell out." It's ridiculous.

[pwyndam]

@jamesbullet55 Thanks Man. It is ridiculous. It's loser talk plain and simple. Strummer said way back that the Clash wanted to be a global band. They worked hard and became a global band, not just another garage act. That's the mantra I have for my life. I don't want to be sitting in my room twiddling my thumbs. Gotta amount to something cause we're only here once as far as I know. I couldn't make it as a punker, so CPA it is.

[3tangle3]

@autograph1984 science research, most people there are escaping the idiots that govern the state....free minds :)

[RgClubs]

@autograph1984 Nor do I mate!

[andrew19vato]

@autograph1984 enjoy yourself

[TheSean42]

love this

[TheSQUANTO666]
