The songwriter himself said this was about the Socialist attitude that The Clash brought to the scene. And frankly, it's very true. I've yet to meet a socialist who actually went through the crap they talk about (being poor, "The Man", being discriminated against, etc). I've experienced all those things and I'm still the heartless a-hole that I was to begin with. God Bless Capitalism.
@JewMan7493 I can confirm this. I was backstage and asked Danny what he meant with the song. He explained it was a pro-capitalism song. He didn't like how the Clash was preaching socialist ideals. I lost track of the number of times I saw Boingo.
