Lyrics Can't Cheat Carma One - Two - Three - Go I've got an ego It won't let me go What am I gonna do?
A - B - C - D Paranoia's killing me I'm dying on my aching feet What a way to go
Roll up - Roll up People always stroll up Say "Why don't you grow up?" No thank you!
Big cats, small cats Some cats are fat cats Those cats are bad cats What we gonna do?
There's an awful lot of people in the world today There's an awful lot of trouble in the streets these days And it doesn't seem to matter what you do or say If a change is gonna come you've got to help it on its way
A change is gonna come before too long I know Peace has gotta come, well, I could be wrong I know But I just don't know what I can do
You don't trust me and I don't trust you I bet you wish you did and I know I do Why have you got secrets? Cause I know you have If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
A change is gonna come before too long I know Peace has gotta come, well, I could be wrong I know But I just don't know what I can do
You don't trust me and I don't trust you I bet you wish you did and I know I do Why have you got secrets? Cause I know you have If you've got something to hide then it must be bad
A change is gonna come before too long I know Peace has gotta come, well, I could be wrong I know But I just don't know what I can do
Lyrics Well I'm running, police on my back I've been hiding, police on my back There was a shooting, police on my back And the victim well he wont come back

The Clash - I'm So Bored With The USA/London's Burning (live)
Live στο Manchester το 1978. Και τα 2 κομμάτια είναι από το πρώτο τους album The Clash το 1977.
Lyrics I'm So Bored With The USA Yankee soldier He wanna shot some skag He met it in Cambodia But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar To the dictators of the world In fact it's giving orders An' they can't afford to miss a word
I'm so bored with the U.....S.....A But what can I do?
Yankee detectives Are always on the TV 'Cos killers in America Work seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes Let's print the Waterprint Tapes I'll salute the New Wave And I hope nobody escapes
I'm so bored with the U.....S.....A But what can I do?
Move up Starsky For the CIA Suck on Kojak For the USA
London's Burning All across the town, all across the night Everybody's driving with full headlights Black or white turn it on, face the new religion Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!
London's burning with boredom now London's burning dial 99999
I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights What a great traffic system - it's so bright I can't think of a better way to spend the night Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights
London's burning with boredom now London's burning dial 99999
Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat This one leads to this block, this one leads to that The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone
London's burning with boredom now... London's burning dial 99999
The Clash - Complete Control
Από το πρώτο τους album The Clash το 1977.
Lyrics Complete Control They said release 'Remote Control' But we didn't want it on the label They said, "Fly to Amsterdam" The people laughed but the press went mad
On the last tour my mates couldn't get in I'd open up the back door but they'd get run out again At every hotel we was met by the Law Come for the party - come to make sure!
Ooh ooh ooh have we done something wrong? Ooh ooh ooh complete control, even over this song
You're my guitar hero
They said we'd be artistically free When we signed that bit of paper They meant we'll make a lotsa mon-ee An' worry about it later
Ooh ooh ooh I'll never understand Ooh ooh ooh complete control - lemme see your other hand!
I don't judge you. So, why do you judge me? Huh?
All over the news spread fast They're dirty, they're filthy They ain't gonna last!
This is Joe public speakin' I'm controlled in the body, controlled in the mind This is punk rockers, we're controlled by the price of the hard drugs we must find Freedom is control Total C-o-n control - that means you!

Lyrics I Fought The Law Breakin' rocks in the hot sun I fought the law and the law won (x2) I needed money cause I had none I fought the law and the law won (x2)

The Clash - London Calling
Lyrics London Calling London calling to the faraway towns Now war is declared - and battle come down London calling to the underworld Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls London calling, now don't look to us Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust London calling, see we ain't got no swing 'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
CHORUS The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin Engines stop running, but I have no fear Cause London is drowning and I, live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone London calling to the zombies of death Quit holding out - and draw another breath London calling - and I don't wanna shout But while we were talking I saw you nodding out London calling, see we ain't got no high Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
CHORUS x2 The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin A nuclear era, but I have no fear Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river
Now get this London calling, yes, I was there, too An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true! London calling at the top of the dial And after all this, won't you give me a smile? London Calling
I never felt so much alike, like-a, like-a...
The Clash - This Is Radio Clash
Από τη συλλογή Super Black Market Clash με ακυκλοφόρητα τραγούδια το 1994.
Lyrics This Is Radio Clash Interrupting all programmes
This is radio clash from pirate satellite Orbiting your living room Cashing in the bill of rights Cuban army surplus or refusing all third lights This is radio clash on pirate satellite
This sound does not subscribe To the international plan In the psycho shadow of the white right hand Then that see ghettology as an urban vietnam Giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm
This is radio clash tearing up the seven veils This is radio clash please save us, not the whales This is radio clash underneath a mushroom cloud This is radio clash you dont need that funeral shroud
Forces have been looting My humanity Curfews have been curbing The end of liberty
Hands of law have sorted through My identity But now this sound is brave And wants to be free - anyway to be free
This is radio clash on pirate satellite This is not free europe Noh an armed force network This is radio clash using audio ammunition This is radio clash can we get that world to listen? This is radio clash using aural ammunition This is radio clash can we get that world to listen? This is radio clash on pirate satellite Orbiting your living room, Cashing in the bill of rights This is radio clash on pirate satellite This is radio clash everybody hold on tight
Anti-Flag - Die For The Government/Fuck The Flag (live)
Lyrics Die For The Government You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government? Die for your country? That's shit! There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness." But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again A secret test, government built virus "Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops" You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government? Die for your country? That's shit! First World War veterans slaughtered, by General Eisenhower You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back Radiation, agent orange, tested on US souls Guinea pigs for Western corporations I never have, I never will Pledge allegiance to their flag You're getting used, you'll end up dead! You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government? Die for your country? That's shit! I don't need you to tell me what to do And I don't need you to tell me what to be... FUCK YOU! I don't need you to tell me what to say And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think! What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think! You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government? Die for your country? That's shit
Fuck The Flag Brainwashing Piece of Rag Take it off mast, and stick it up your ass Now it's time to slaughter In its fucking honor

Anti-Flag - Free Nation
Lyrics Free Nation State officials talk of freedom THEY-TALK In this country that we live in THEY-TALK Free to be harassed and be beaten by the pigs YOUR RIGHTS-NO RIGHTS Till your fucking broken, crippled, or until you're fucking dead
They pass laws unfair to gays THEIR-WORK And separatist laws to keep the non-whites in their place THEIR-WORK Family values as a smoke screen blowing in your face THEIR TRUTH-NO TRUTH Family values isn't something that shouldn't be based on hate
Justice presides over them, late into the night A blind fold covering their eyes but something isn't right... Under their arms there are shackles on her legs And the hands that once held up her scales are bound, are bound in chains
And behind their closed doors they conspire through the night MORE WORK-SICK WORK And they won't stop until this nation is all straight and all white
They call it a free nation, but all it is, is a nazi nation
Anti-Flag - This Is The End (For You My Friend)
Lyrics This Is The End (For You My Friend) Seems every station on the TV is selling something no one can be If every page was torn from the magazine would cash still drive the media machine? The products, damage and pursuit are endless identity can leave you selfless
We will not witness this anymore This is the end for you my friend I can't forgive, I won't forget on and on, we sing our songs and on and on, the wars wage on and on and on, we sing our songs for more for more
Your eyes are open but you can't see your mouth is moving but you don't speak a blitzkrieg of images to break your will I hope you choke on every pill
We will not witness this anymore This is the end for you my friend I can't forgive, I won't forget on and on, we sing our songs and on and on, the wars wage on and on and on, we sing our songs for more
We will not witness this anymore This is the end for you my friend I can't forgive, I won't forget...
This is the end for you my friend I can't forgive, I won't forget On and on, we sing our songs and On and on, the wars wage on and On and on, we sing our songs and On and on, the wars wage on and On and on, we sing our songs and On and on, your wars wage on and On and on, we sing our songs for more We sing our songs for more Anti-Flag - The Press Corpse
Lyrics The Press Corpse The {Downing Street} memo says...
...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice
We don't want to talk about it...
The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care!
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue! But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day We find the picture still askew
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it They wanna tiptoe, walk around it Wave the flag and mindlessly salute They don't want to talk about it They wanna tiptoe, walk around it Wave the flag and cowardly salute
And on the TV screen... ...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day Was it WMDs? Or Democracy? Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say...
"We don't want to talk about it!"
The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it wrong!" The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies The spineless war drumming-press corpse have taken lives
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue! But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day We find the picture still askew
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it They wanna tiptoe, walk around it Wave the flag and mindlessly salute They don't want to talk about it They wanna tiptoe, walk around it Wave the flag and cowardly salute
Fires fueled on endless lies Black shrouds coat desert skies A nation's viewpoint blurred and led As embeds report what they're fed
We don't want to talk about it... We don't want to talk about it... We don't want to talk about it... We don't want to talk about it...
(We don't want to talk about it...) We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it (We don't want to...) We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it They wanna tiptoe, walk around it Wave the flag and cowardly salute They don't want to talk about it They wanna tiptoe, walk around it Wave the flag and cowardly salute
Lyrics Think Locally, Fuck Globally I came to New York to start gypsy punk revolt Now that it's rockin' so why don't I just go home? Hei Chavorale... Think Locally! Palo mande... Fuck Globally! I can't believe back home they failed to understand That I am simply a chavo kind of man Hey Chavorale... Think Locally! Palo mande... Fuck Globally! And if the county we invented will fall from grace I guess we'll have to fly away in our own space Hey chavorale... Think Locally Palo mande... Fuck Globally! Party!
Gogol Bordello - Wonderlust King
Lyrics
Back in the day yo as we learned A man was not considered to be Considered to be fully grown Has he not gona beyond the hills Has he not crossed the seven seas Yeah, seven seas at least Now all them jokers kept around Just like the scarecrows in hometown Yeah, scare-crows in hometown From screen to screen they’re traveling
But I’m a wonderlust king I stay on the run Let me out Let me be gone In the world’s beat up road sign I saw new history of time New history of time
Through Siberian woods Breaking up their neck
Chinese moving in building discoteques
Homemade sex toys and what not Yea and why not? Well at least it’s something different From what they got in every other airport
Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga! Simple because I’m not a total gadjo Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge
I traveled the world Looking for understanding Of the times that we live in Hunting and gathering first hand information Challenging definitions of sin
I traveled the world Looking for lovers Of the ultimate beauty But never settled in I’m Wonderlust King
And presidents And billionaires And generals They’ll never know What I have owned What I have owned I’m a wonderlust king
Ειλικρινά πιστεύω πως αξίζει ένα αφιέρωμα σ' αυτό το συγκρότημα.
Αν σκοπός των SexPistols ήταν να γκρεμίσουν το "παλιό", τότε ο λόγος ύπαρξης των Clash ήταν το χτίσιμο του "νέου". Κατάφεραν να παρουσιάσουν το πρώτο "σοβαρό" punkalbum διαμαρτυρίας με τραγούδια για τον ρατσισμό, την πολιτική βία και την στέρηση των πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων, των οποίων τους στίχους έγραψε ο Strummer και την μουσική ο Jones, ανακατεύοντας το punk με διάφορα μουσικά είδη, όπως reggae, ska, rock'n'roll, soul και worldmusic. Αντέταξαν στο μηδενισμό των SexPistols και των άλλων punk συγκροτημάτων της εποχής μία φλογερή ιδεολογία και ένα γνήσιο ενδιαφέρον για τη ζωή των νεαρών ακροατών τους, διαμορφόνωντας έτσι το punk ως ιδεολογικό και μουσικό κίνημα.
Χαρακτηριστική η κριτική του Sniffin Glue: "…The Clash album is like a mirror. It reflects all the shit. It shows us the truth. To me, it is the most important album ever released. It's as if I 'm looking at my life in a film. AstoryoflifeinLondon…". Ένα από τα πλέον εντυπωσιακά ντεμπούτα - album όλων των εποχών, απλώς αποτελούσε τον προπομπό μιας σειράς υπέροχων δίσκων από ένα σύνολο που θα κέρδιζε πολλά στο μέλλον δίχως να συμβιβαστεί, μέχρι να διαλυθεί!
Δεν ήταν συνηθισμένοι τύποι "εκτός νόμου" όπως συνηθίζονταν αλλά επαναστάτες με ΑΙΤΙΑ. Για συγκρότημα που τραγούδησε για την επανάσταση και την εργατική τάξη, οι Clash είχαν πολύ παραδοσιακές ρίζες.
Η ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΜΠΑΝΤΑΣ
Ο JoeStrummer (JohnGrahamMellor) γεννήθηκε στις Αυγούστου του 1952 και πέρασε τα παιδικά του χρόνια σε οικοτροφείο. Λίγο αφότου έκλεισε τα 20, έφτιαξε ένα συγκρότημα γεννημένο στους δρόμους του Λονδίνου, τους 101'ers. Πριν καταλήξει στο Λονδίνο όπου έφτιαξε τους 101'ers, ο Strummer πήγε σε μία σχολή Καλών Τεχνών αφότου τέλειωσε το σχολείο (όπως συνηθιζόταν τότε), αλλά τα παράτησε μετά την αυτοκτονία του μεγάλου του αδελφού David - με τον οποίο είχαν κόψει κάθε επαφή επειδή είχε πάει με το Ναζιστικό Μέτωπο. Έτσι άρχισε να περιπλανιέται στην Ευρώπη όπως είχε κάνει πριν χρόνια ο αγαπημένος του Αμερικάνος τραγουδοποιός WoodyGuthrie. Παράλληλα, ο MickJones (γεννημένος στις 26 Ιουνίου του 1955), ηγούνταν ενός hardrockσυγκροτήματος, τους LondonSS. Σε αντίθεση με τον Strummer (που το έσκασε από την πλούσια οικογένειά του και μεταξύ μας καλά έκανε) ο Jones εμφανίστηκε από το παρασκήνιο της εργατικής τάξης στο Brixton. Στην εφηβεία του, είχε ενθουσιαστεί με το rockn' roll και έφτιαξε τους LondonSS με πρόθεση να δώσει μια απάντηση στο hard-driving ήχο των MotttheHoopleandFaces.
Ο παιδικός του φίλος PaulSimonon (γεννημένος στις 15 Δεκεμβρίου του 1956) μπήκε στο συγκρότημα ως μπασίστας το 1976 αντικαθιστώντας τον TonyJames που αργότερα πήγε στους Generation-X και στους SigueSputnik. Εκείνη την εποχή, το συγκρότημα είχε επίσης τον drummerToryCrimes (TerryChimes) ο οποίος είχε πρόσφατα αντικαταστήσει τον TopperHeadon (NickyHeadon) γεννημένο στις 30 Μαΐου του 1955. Αφού παρακολούθησε μια συναυλία των SexPistols, oStrummer αποφάσισε να διαλύσει τους 101'ers το 1976 για να προσεγγίσει αλλιώς τη μουσική, με πιο άγριο ήχο. Μαζί με τον κιθαρίστα των 101'ersKeithLevene,
μπήκε στους LondonSS, οι οποίοι μετ' ονομάστηκαν σε Clash. Tην εποχή εκείνη ο Strummer ζούσε ως καταληψίας σε ένα κοινοτικό σπίτι και ο Jones μοιραζόταν το ίδιο διαμέρισμα με την γιαγιά του. Οι συνθήκες δεν θα μπορούσαν να είναι καταλληλότερες και έτσι άρχισαν να γράφουν στίχους γεμάτους έχθρα, ένδεια και πικρία για το υπάρχον πολιτικό σύστημα. Το όνομά τους κατοχυρώθηκε μετά από την πρόταση του Simonon να χρησιμοποιήσουν το όνομα Clash, επειδή αναφερόταν πολύ στις εφημερίδες και πίστευε ότι ταίριαζε με τα πιστεύω τους. Τα υπόλοιπα γεγονότα μέχρι την έκδοση του πρώτου τους album που ηχογραφήθηκε μέσα σε τρία Σαββατοκύριακα, αποτελούν πια μέρος της μουσικής ιστορίας.
"Ως μείγμα από τελείως διαφορετικές προσωπικότητες” γράφει ο συγγραφέας LennyKaye “οι Clash ήταν η τέλεια μπάντα, που όλος ο πολιτικός ζήλος και ο απτόητος ιδεαλισμός της εξερράγησαν μέσω της μουσικής έκφρασης τους” ενώ ο ίδιος ο JoeStrummer, ένα μόλις μήνα πριν τον θανατό του το 2002, είχε δηλώσει για τις συναυλίες τους και για την κοινή τους πορεία ότι “ήταν κάτι σαν επίδειξη πυροτεχνημάτων. Κάτι σαν ψυχεδελικό χτύπημα από κεραυνό, κάτι σαν απροσδιόριστο χρώμα”.
Kάτι σαν αυτό το απερίγραπτο που όσα χρόνια κι αν περάσουν σε καθηλώνει και σε συναρπάζει, σαν να είναι η πρώτη φορά που τρέχεις να προλάβεις το "Traininvain"στο σταθμό του, για να σε ταξιδέψει στις τότε εποχές που η μουσική δεν ήταν μαζική παραγωγή αλλά μαζική επανάσταση.
ΔΙΣΚΟΓΡΑΦΙΑ
Το “ΤheClash” κυκλοφορεί τον Απρίλιο του 1977 στην Μ.Βρεττανία περιλαμβάνοντας ύμνους όπως τα “WhiteRiot” και “I’msoboredwithU.S.A” ενώ με το “PoliceandThieves” επισημαίνει μια πρόωρη αναγνώριση του κοινού εδάφους μεταξύ της Punk και της Reggae.
Στο δεύτερο album “Give ‘EmEnoughRope“ που κυκλοφόρησε το 1978 το συγκρότημα βρίσκει πλέον τον ήχο εκείνο που το οδηγεί σε πεμπτουσιακές διαδρομές σαν το “SafeEuropeanHome” και το "StayFree"
Τον Δεκέμβριο του 1979 κυκλοφορεί το “LondonCalling” που έμελλε να είναι όχι μόνο το σημείο αναφοράς των Clash αλλά και όλης της δεκαετίας που ακολούθησε. Το LP είναι διπλό αλλά πωλείται στην τιμή του ενός, ως τρανό δείγμα της ιδεολογίας του group να μην αποσκοπεί σε οικονομικά οφέλη, αλλά να προσπαθεί να δώσει στους θαυμαστές του όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερη και δωρεάν μουσική. Η δισκογραφική τους εταιρεία απέτησε οι Clash να μην πάρουν τίποτα από τις πρώτες 500.000 πωλήσεις του "LondonCalling".
Αργότερα, ο Strummer και ο Simonon που μείνανε, βγάλανε το "Cut the Crap", ένα album με πιο σκληρό ήχο και κομμάτια όπως το "Dirty Punk", το "This Is England", το "North And South" και το "Do It Now". Tο album όμως φαίνεται να έχει διαγραφεί από την επίσημη δισκογραφία των Clash, αφού κανένα τραγούδι του δεν συμπεριληφθή στη συλλογή "ClashOnBroadway", της οποίας επιμελήθηκαν ο Strummer και ο Jones.

Το μπάσο του Simonon
Η κιθάρα του Strummer
Ο Jones μετά τους Clash έφτιαξε του BigAudioDynamite, ένα συγκρότημα στο οποίο συνδυάζονταν punkrapfunk, ενώ oStrummer προσπάθησε α φτιάξει κάποια άλλα σχήματα τα οποία δεν είχαν επιτυχία και ασχολήθηκε με τον κινηματογράφο. Έπαιξε σε διάφορες ταινίες και έγραψε αρκετά soundtrack, τα οποία έχουν πάρει καλές κριτικές. Στα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του έφτιξε του JoeStrummer & TheMescaleros, ένα latinrockpunk μείγμα, με τους οποίους έβγαλε 3 album (το τελευταίο τους album "Streetcore" εκδόθηκε ενώ είχε πεθάνει). Ο Simonon ασχολήθηκε με τη μουσική όπως έκανε πριν τους Clash, και περίπου εδώ και 1-2 χρόνια έχει φτιάξει τους TheGoodTheBadAndTheQueen. OTopperHeadon δεν μπόρεσε να απεξαρτηθεί από τα ναρκωτικά και μάλιστα συνελλήφθη για αποδοχή κοπλιμαίων λίγο μετά αφότου τον έδιωξαν οι Clash. Μπήκε φυλακή για 15 μήνες. Τα τελευταία χρόνια εμφανίζεται σε συνοικιακά club.
