"Clampdown" by the Clash

1. This song is about the economic and social issues at the time written in 1979. They talk a lot about 'working for the clampdown', which refers to a boss, upper class, or authority.
2. The music in the song is upbeat, which can symbolize a sense of rebellion within the songwriters. It almost sounds as if to say, 'you can't get me'.
3. The 'twisted' speech being taught to 'young believers' is part of deception and propaganda.
