Unless it was done by a policeman or an aristocrat Oh, 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 Know your rights, these are your rights Wang! Young offenders! Oh, know these rights Number 3: You have the right to freeeee speech As long as your not dumb enough to actually try it Know your rights - these are your rights Oh, know your rights - these are your rights All 3 of 'em - hah And it has been suggested in some quarters That this is not enough!

Finally then I will read you your rights You have the right to remain silent You are warned that anything you say Can & will be taken down & used as evidence against you Listen to this - run) |
I saw the Clash live at the Cow Palace in San Francisco back in the '80's...and they opened with "Know Your Rights"...which woulda been a great opening except the singer dropped the mike as he said "This is a public service announcement!"...blew the whole opening basically:doh:

This was my favorite when it came out and probably still is. I'm a big Clash fan. For a while there in 1981 it was one of those things I listened to all day everyday...lol. My favorites off the album are:
The Magnificent Seven The Call Up Career Opportunities Rebel Waltz Lightning Strikes (Not Once But Twice) Ivan Meets G.I. Joe I of course like the classic: London Calling and also Train In Vain and Mustapha Dance A great band. There are more but that's all I feel like typing.:cool: |
I hate to say it, but Rockin' the Casbah is a badass tune with a message very relevant in this political climate. It reminds me of an article I read in the New York Times about the Taliban regime banning music in Afghanistan, and how through the ages it's been done by the Catholic Church as well. Give it another spin, and try to forgive it for being so popular.
