The Clash - Know your rights

[ifthethunderdontgety]

The Clash predicted the "USA PATRIOT Act" and the Department of Homeland Security.

[Jammiejammo]

Going through my dad's old records he left. I found an original combat rock album. I popped that sucker in... damn...

[DjSashaRocknroll]

 Great band, great Song. Joe Strummer is one of the best songrwiters and singers.

[AtkinsonHauk]

RIP Joe Strummer

[wookiewhat]

This is a public announcement...with guitar...THE BEST LINE EVER!

[bongobong93]

[WafflesandWhales]

Muthafuckasssss. Dis song has killed me....I am a better person because of it.

[mikehunt3743]

@Vincenteloco the revolution has been going for ever

[fastacid714]

Only the rich have rights sic

[mrbassman25]

the start of the end, :( .... its amazing how wee Topper was missed during these gigs. RIP the Clash, the band i was never ever lucky to see play live ....

[cpj93070]

@mrbassman25 this is when it was all over the clash for me and most clash fans was 1976-83

[ikegfpa19]

Fans of Brazil here!

[tinternabbess]

hottest motherfuckers to ever grace a stage-

they would have been even more successful but they refused to sell out and kiss ass.

puts the bands today to shame.

RIP Joe Strummer- you are missed.

[venostar]

this is like a bomb!!!

[universalself]

metallic guitar sounding powerdriving rockabilly with attitude

[Lumbar87]

One of my favorite Clash songs! I saw The Clash in Amarillo, TX in 1983. Great show!

[grahambigvan]

0' 8" Mick's guitar beats Joe's monologue

[SuperPunk1995]

@grahambigvan but joe would have said something much better given the chance

[slimbambino]

Apparently 13 persons don't know their rights..

[Laidleypunk12]

@slimbambino fascists took care of that

[EdNortonisMineLol]

Wish I could've been there... The best band ever, and I've gotta say that Joe was a BABE

[sbphotographic]

nevr will be anything close to The Clash.......again.

[Bloody0Martyr]

@sbphotographic echo that dude!! (irony intended(?))

[Fizwalker]

@fitsfiend1138 Or an Aristorcrat!

[greenday96fin]

R.I.P Joe Strummer we all miss you ♥):

[TheSkifflebunch]

they missed mentioning aristocrats :/

[schootingstarr]

the text is okay, but the song is crap

[fastacid714]

They are on the money with this song they are snipers.

[bittersweetbeso]

goddddd there all so hot

[subimeyouthBJJ]

kinda sounds like a johny cash riff at 20 sec

[gmartinz01]

A song I never really liked, but never mind listening to as incongruous as that is.

[RadekOzzy85]

Joe... I love you man. Rest in Peace

[acitonj]

RIP Joe.. 8 Years ago today :(

[wodans11]

Do you know your rights? Are you on the barricades???

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS :)

[tluda]

this goes out to all the students of England- dont let them fuck you like they did to us in america. where rooting for you!

[olaf1610]

You have the right...... not to be killed...

[mohawkrevenge]

Murder is a crime unless it was done by a Policeman.

[TheSandsie13]

i know yer not supposed to laugh at this song. but "you have the right not to be killed/ cause murder is a crime" really joe? god i miss ya mate. R.I.P. man.

[tiede23]

Ive been wanting to know for a while but who is playing drums in this concert?

[TravelMate2006]

@tiede23

Pete Howard

[TailsPunk]

@TravelMate2006

Topper is beter!

[arhatyellow]

Thank You Joe Strummer and fiends. The message is as true today as then. Know your rights - and fight for them - lest they be taken away. The constitution is alive and well - and not just a bit part in a Tom Hanks movie. Read it. Learn it. Love it.

[RockyGnocchi]

why are so many weirdo's voting up Vicenteloco's meaningless hyperbole? don't get it.

in other news The Clash was fucking awesome.

[TheSteviecaldwell]

RIP joe

[dsdontsurf]

Yep that's the Clash baby....you seen it all right there.

[sultansiam]

Rock The Province

[stylophobia]

Murder is a crime...unless it was done by a Policeman.

RIP : Blair Peach, Kevin Gately, Jean Charles De Menezes, Harry Stanley, Ian Tomlinson

[Blackkat73]

One of the most influential songs in my opinion, well thats why i have it tattooed on my arm. And ill tell you, in this day and age, you really need to know your rights.

[Slushyyy639]

@Blackkat73 fuck ya man

[jtminutisme1]

Fuckin' great song....you need to know your rights, especially today, with the chunp police we got, out to serve their purpose, whatever that is

[larrymm1963]

know your rights

[aldarcy]

Get off the streets

[luisferroque]

Jajajajajaja love Paul's dance at 1:00 

[kadrexa]

@luisferroque LOOOL hahahahahahahahahahha

[stylophobia]

As true today as when it was written-RIP Blair Peach, Kevin Gately,Jean Charles De Menezes,Ian Tomlinson

[Stephanie104]

You have the right to food money

Providing of course you

Don't mind a little

Investigation

Humiliation

And if you cross your fingers

Rehabilitation

Know your rights

These are your rights

[easylyrics2]

Aren't the lyrics awesome?! EasyLyrics . org/?artist=Clash%2C+The&title­=Know+Your+Rights

[Boogieboy138]

Joe was way ahead of his time. such a shame that he dies and we have shitty pop music sluts like Lady GaGa to deal with. I dont believe in Crass's "Clash for cash" bullshit at all. Joe clearly wrote this from the bottom of his heart, only a genious can write such an amazing song that speaks the truth. Not like these stupid cunts today who just sing along to synthezizers and have no point in the songs and only end up making noise to make money. Clash were definitely not in it for the Cash.

[seansurlow]

totally killer diller

sps

san clemente, california

[Lochgelly1]

For those struggling to understand the song..most of it is sarcasm..however there is an underlying truth that cannot be denied..the right to food money and to not to be killed..those aren't exactly in the Constitution you know..and the the "right to free speech...as long as your not dumb enough to actually try it!"..Well..that's just downright hysterical!

Ofcourse..he ends by stating, "and in some quarters it has been suggested that this might not be enough!..Well."

Get it? I hope so.

[mightyjavy]

nice bass

[dmcd808]

As we enter into the big brother state this song is going to get allot more important!

Take note!

[nickestone]

This song is about how the authorities and the bosses hurt , humiliate and exploit the working class and why we should stand up t o them by knowing the rights that have been fought for generations

[teeardee]

Did he say "you have the right to food money"? Well what the hell am I doing wasting so much of my time workin'? I should be sitting around collecting my money. I like the other two rights in this song, but what's up with the "food money"?

[grungerocker101]

he means u have the right to make enough money for food...

[teeardee]

You have the right (freedom, actually) to make enough money for whatever you want, provided you're willing and able to expend the effort. And if you do it well, you might not even have to endure a little Investigation, humiliation, OR rehabilitation.

[26354BladeRunner]

@teeardee

I think you have missed the point, not a clash fan?

[teeardee]

@26354BladeRunner

Well, I'm not a fan of whining, so no...I guess not.

[slayerisgood]

@teeardee its sarcastic rights not real ones

[cdal783]

You can't have (1) without (2). Why would anyone who is desperately poor agree to (1) if not guaranteed (2)?

[RolandoGuerra]

DEMASIADO BUENO!!!

[Vincenteloco]

R.I.P JOE WE MISS U

[micks222]

such an appropriate song for the times we live in now. I think Joe would now sing Know your rights, what's left of them, shit we are in trouble if there were only three. rip Joe!

[colutd1]

wellamerica and its poodle the place i live could hear the clash . i see only conformity my dear fella

[colutd1]

we dont come to watch what you do , we come to listen to what you ave to say . 2010 start of the world food riots . this lot were =====right========

[yuryiodizadebee]

[oOZePirateOo]

[tsirobill]

epic

[drgrl]

If China and Iran could hear The Clash sing this the Revolution would be ON!!!

[andynsk]

@drgrl Stupid yankee

[NZRand0m]

Notice how Mick cuts off Joe at the start.

[cuteattraction]

excellent!

[Pad78vw]

Thats how you play bass!

[JOELchannel7]

Pearl Jam's "cover" (better: concision) of this great tune is pitiful...

R.I.P. Joe

[Gouchem28]

I can't agree with u more but then again only joe 's got the balls to sing this tune!

[Isismusicnow]

public announcement with guitar.. classic

[prospicente]

@Vincenteloco ..all right!!

[jimellis123]

@Vincenteloco There is no god, just Strummer.

[uberglocken]

@Vincenteloco the best comment ive ever read on you tube. . .

[ASTRUBAL1334]

@Vincenteloco i though at 7th day God rested and took his telecaster to make every one of us to know our rights

[Littlepunkonthewave]

@Vincenteloco I just regret not to can "like" more than one time !

[DanzDas]

@Vincenteloco on the oth day.... THE CLASH made god ;)

[Vincenteloco]

[lovestory0422]

[ehead2222]

[jph69uk]

Murder is a crime - unless it is done by a policeman.  Ian Thomlinson attacked and killed by police on his way home from work 1st April 2009 London - how true this song is!!!

[lindsayloveshuxley]

this is a public service announcement.....WITH GUITARS!!!!!!

[EdaC91]

[Misfits655]

[Stereotype6]

[Misfits655]

[Stereotype6]

[punkrockchick63]

[THECLASH1994]

Awesome! The Clash is the best!

Got every album of them!

[dakotahplaysguitar]

I got a question

is Give 'em enough rope like a straight punk record, or like Combat rock where it's a huge mix?

[THECLASH1994]

Its a Great Punk Rock album not a mix:-D

[drgmdp]

just listen to it you lazy ass

[MissyHolland]

!Viva Joe Strummer!

!Viva The Gangsta of Love!

!Siempre Hasta la Victoria!

[satellite77777]

Joe..love the bloke. Sorry mate...only the good die young, or so they all say.

[ThePigeonDetective2]

thats strange none of the clash did that

[Progenic71]

you missed Topper Headon (drummer) lol

turned into a smack head and ended up in re-hab a dozen times.

The clash never sold out, just a shame mick and joe couldn't see eye to eye while together.

Ironically they both it up and became great friends shortly after Micj formed BAD (big audio dynamite), Joe even stars in several of their videos (and sings too), Medicine show for example ;-)

shame about Joe

great band all the same, had a huge effect on me as a band.

[jackson2578]

There last concert. A great song and a great performance nontheless.

[arcticmunchy]

Lol i love the clash, they're my fav band. But they sold out. Riots all over England and here the clash are playing to the yanks xD

[ElHobbit9]

Absolutely awesome.

[coolconfuzer]

this is such a bad ass song the version on LIVE FROM HERE TO ETRNITY is a shitload better and its not Terry its the drummer for there next album cut the crap...his name isnt inportant lol

[codnose]

Pete Howard if you were wondering

[VioladorDeLaLey]

Who was playing the drums here? Terry Chimes?

[yellowsubmarine]

Number 3:

You have the right to free speech

As long as

You're not dumb enough to actually try it!

Know your rights,

These are your rights!

All three of 'em!

[yellowsubmarine]

Number 1: You have the right not to be killed Murder is a CRIME! Unless it was done by a Policeman or aristocrat... Know your rights! And Number 2: You have the right to food money Providing of course You don't mind a little Investigation, humiliation And if you cross your fingers Rehabilitation...

[impreza0wrx]

[yellowsubmarine]

i'm so bloody sorry! you don't need to read the comments, you can just sit there and listen without reading any of the comments.

[ckentnyc]

[Purojannu]

[dakotahplaysguitar]
