more Watergate/the Clash

  About seven years ago....I was listening to this band constantly this probably saved me at the time.......


this is back when Joe Strummer and the others were around 21, something like that. I mean, they were kids at the time. 

Skag I guess is heroin? All this pre-AIDS all that stuff.  


I'm So Bored With the USA 


By Joe Strummer and Mick Jones

Lyrics:


Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag

Yankee dollar talk
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 d-e-tectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week

Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Age
And I hope nobody escapes

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
I'm so bored with the U...S...A..
But what can I do?

Move up Starsky
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak
For the USA
