Lyric discussion by Chinup 

i understand what the verse is supposed to convey, but it's a bit dramatic, huh? TEN times worse than prison? I've been to prison for less than 24 hours, and there's no fucking way I wanna go back.

but i guess by this point The Clash had a poetic license to kill...

great chugging bassline, btw...

@Chinup yeah well, working for a living IS a prison, one you don’t even notice most of the time...one you’ve kinda been duped into, by your parents and teachers and everybody you trust tell8ng you that working IS life, etc etc. And they tell you this because they believe it. And you believe them because you TRUST them.
