This song kicks ass. Simonon wrote it as a tune up and the others added in their own chords. Then Simonon said he had penned some words and tried to get Joe to sing them but he tried to get Paul to sing it, when he refused claiming he couldn't sing the band refused to play it unless he sang it and I'm pleased they did he does it perfectly. The Brixton riots were I'm pretty sure race riots just the blacks Vs cops which seemed pretty common back then.
