Old Clash Fan Fight Song
I've got a mate who lives in Vermont
He couldn't find the music he wants
Sick and tired of the corporation
Started his own little radio station
Now he's on the air each day
Telling folks about a different way
He plays Billy Bragg and a bit of Green Day
And "I'm So Bored With the U.S.A."
Oh, people are on the move
Oh, people got a lot to prove
I've got a buddy who delivers the post
Up and down the northeast coast
When The Clash came to town he never missed 'em
He still wants to bust the system
But he has to go to work
That doesn't mean he's some kind of a jerk
Put food on the table, you know how that feels
Doesn't mean he's lost his ideals
Oh, people are on moving on
Oh, George Bush will soon be gone
The clampdown is still coming down hard
Police and thieves all over my yard
But these heavy manners don't worry me
'Cause I'm an heavier dude than I used to be
Oh, people are on moving on
Oh, Tony Blair will soon be gone
Cooperation, not competition
Cooperation, is not sedition
He couldn't find the music he wants
Sick and tired of the corporation
Started his own little radio station
Now he's on the air each day
Telling folks about a different way
He plays Billy Bragg and a bit of Green Day
And "I'm So Bored With the U.S.A."
Oh, people are on the move
Oh, people got a lot to prove
I've got a buddy who delivers the post
Up and down the northeast coast
When The Clash came to town he never missed 'em
He still wants to bust the system
But he has to go to work
That doesn't mean he's some kind of a jerk
Put food on the table, you know how that feels
Doesn't mean he's lost his ideals
Oh, people are on moving on
Oh, George Bush will soon be gone
The clampdown is still coming down hard
Police and thieves all over my yard
But these heavy manners don't worry me
'Cause I'm an heavier dude than I used to be
Oh, people are on moving on
Oh, Tony Blair will soon be gone
Cooperation, not competition
Cooperation, is not sedition
