"You have the right to free speech...... As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it" As true today as it was when they wrote this song! Take heed.
can we please not get personal with our politics and just enjoy a fucking good song that so encapsulates the whole spectrum; not just YOUR own politics. You might find I'm in your camp here but not when I listen to The Clash.
@gunner1488 I recall Chinese students in Hong Kong played this very song during demonstrations after the Tienanmen protests were crushed. Joe Strummer and Mick Jones's songs and lyrics were frequently inspired by people fighting for their basic rights, and have in turn inspired and given encouragement to similar struggles around the world. Anyone engaged in such struggles is free to interpret the Clash's songs to fit their own circumstances. That's the beauty of great political art.

Know your rights in the United States.
The Second Amendment says that you have the right to bear arms.
It's too bad that the people of Iran don't have the same freedom. If they did they would not be fighting their government using sticks and stones.
This is why our founders felt it necessary for the people to have the right to bear arms. It's a deterrent against an oppressive and brutal government.
Dr. Ahmadinejad looks great as a winner. There were open debates during which he was so unfairly attacked beyond anyone's imaginations and in spite of all of the foreign efforts and propagandas and the unfair attacks from his corrupt ignorant (brain-dead) rivals Dr Ahmadinejad won because Iranians are smart. and he won. Zendebad Dr. Ahmadnejad Long live Iran..

How can they take away your freedoms?
You don't have them now so how can they be taken away.
If you're going to write something the surely it would be advisable to turn on your brain first.
