Caution's subversive song of the day
Today's song is Hate & War by The Clash. I've bolded my favorite bit.

The Clash were highly political and just a great all around band to listen to. Any time I'm feeling particularly angry about the direction the US government is taking I put on Combat Rock or London Calling. I was posting links to iTunes for the songs previously but I have no idea if anyone is interested or even bothering to read these posts so I'm not going to bother with the iTunes links since it is really easy to just go and find them yourself.

Hate and war - the only things we got today
An’ if I close my eyes
They will not go away
You have to deal with it
It is the currency


Hate...hate...hate...

The hate of a nation
A million miles from home
An’ get war from the junkies
Who don’t like my form

I’m gonna stay in the city
Even when the house fall down
I don’t dream of a holiday
When hate an’ war come around

Hate and war...

I have the will to survive
I cheat if I can’t win
If someone locks me out
I kick my back in

An’ if I get aggression
I give it to them two time back
Every day it’s just the same
With hate an’ war on my back

Hate and war - I hate all the english
Hate and war - they’re just as bad as wops
Hate and war - I hate all the politeness
Hate and war - I hate all the cops

I wanna walk down any street
Looking like a creep
I don’t care if I get beat up
By any kebab greek
