Lyric discussion by myfriendoak 

This song does have several references to the Nazi Government and thier ideals, such as the references to the Jews earning less than the "blue-eyed young believers".

I also found the lyrics: "You start wearing blue and brown/working for the clampdown." could be used as references to Hitler's private armies, the SA and the SS, who's uniforms were blue and brown.

This is one of my favorate songs by The Clash. Period.

@myfriendoak Possibly but I always thought that referred to joining the police or the army to serve the establishment.

An error occured.
