The Clash - Clampdown [Lyrics]

"Clampdown" by the Clash, with on-screen lyrics. From their 1979 album "London Calling."

[jonhadley-zxiu]

"We will teach our twisted speech-To the young believers!"

[rodneyfritzinger]

Great song from one of the best rock albums ever!

[johnbarry]

" I ain't working for the clampdown"!! 2024!!

[sarahkayfan]

Love, love, love the clash, it is the only Band that really matters, 😍

[johnchism]

Thank you for the lyrics and the band was far ahead of their time.

Listening & reading the lyrics at least three times a day, to stay in reality. March 2021💣💥💥💥

40 years on and unfortunately still horrifingly relevant.

Saw The Clash open for The Who at Shea Stadium shortly after the release of London Calling. 'Nuff said!!

[therockinguitarman]

I can say I never grew up or worked for the clampdown. I was in the Army briefly. I guess I was in the clampdown? But not anymore.

This man is a poet as ironically straightforward as Shakespeare ever was!

[DanielNguyen-od]

From God. Their songs are magical like " Death or glory "

[johnhetherington]

And I give away no secrets.
It's all there folks, hiding in plain sight.
Believe in yourself or believe what your told?

[mickymac]

Micky Gallagher's keyboards on this and stay free are vital to the songs.

[johnhetherington]

Play this after 'bonzo goes to bitzburg'. Then maybe try ' the raven'.
The clues are all there folks.
Suck it up or smash it up?
The tails wagging the dog.

[romanoonamor]

Tony Hawk made me discover this song in his video 50 Tricks At Age 50

[johnhetherington]

Sometimes I come across as a lunatic, all I can say is I know what I know.
I was there.

[polcommwatcher]

An indispensable song, IMO. Figured it out too late....

[jwbogacki]

Great song. The one part where he says harrisburg and petersburg, it sounds like he says pittsburgh.

[yogibear]

Fits like a glove to the current situation in March 2021. Research the Vx before you take.

.... and still the masses are ignorant of their own ignorant ignorance
