To add another point about the reference to the National Front, they were notorious for effectively hijacking skinhead culture which formed a significant part of the initial fanbase for the 2Tone/British ska scene that The Specials were a part of. A number of the bands on the 2Tone label were subsequently "claimed" by the NF - which is what I'm guessing is referenced with "I won't fight for a cause / I don't want to change the law / Leave me alone, just leave me alone / I want to get out on my own" since the NF regularly claimed to be fighting for the (exclusively white English) working/lower middle class and unemployed, both of which The Specials stood by as well; I've always seen those lines as a reference to the band attempting to distance themselves from the NF members/sympathisers who claimed to be their fans. Since The Specials were a racially-diverse group, quite a few of their songs contain fairly derogatory references to the NF (and similar intolerant groups/parties) and called out the danger they presented, though this was the only one that I can think of that made the danger personal rather than political.
