Clash, The - Clash City Rockers Lyrics

The perfect song to very angrily make a sandwich to.

Manzana

FUCK YEAH

When I first heard this it was like a bomb had exploded. Real aggressive music was born. the first two albums where outstanding and are my two favourite albums of all time [Never mind the bollocks 3rd] . But then they went downhill and lost the energy and anger and made pop music instead. I am too old to pogo now but I went bonkers in the 70's to this music.

Oh shut your mouth

It's as if it's too good. it's absolute quality.

That outro is SO KILLER!! Just HELLA fuckin' DOPE man!! HELL YEAH!!

Manzana - Los prisioneros

The greatest band to ever strap on guitars and shout a message at the top of their lungs.

The voices sounds like the beatles

When i listen to this I want to destroy everything...masterpiece

Tengo una esposa joven!!

it's smoother than in the game

Rockers☯️✨🐺

Rockers

The Clash, Ramones, Pistols, made the Yes, Asia and Foreigner cassettes useless plastic.

Not a fan, but not really. Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Duran Duran, Ultravox, Spandau Ballet...........are useless? expand your mind

Siouxie and the Banshees, Joy Division.....wtf

One of the most punkish songs ever

First time listening since 1978. Yet another of the first wave punk singles I bought and wish I'd kept.

Adam yauch retaught mick jones how to play this song on guitar!!!!!

could have a claim to best puck song ever

PS2 memories

LOVE THIS SONG

Dilamation ! Couldn't agree more

Yeah Yeah

Cool stuff :)

Tu me réponds quant tu veux. Jiska

Pure trash 🗑

You're pure trash

You are very disrespectful these are legends

This is my second favourite song by the Clash!

I'me learning this song in school of rock

i love this song!

I'm here from Tony Hawk's Proving Ground

such an ace band....they so kick ass...

T o n y H a w k P r o v i n g G r o u n d s

this is the sped up and pitched up version, which Bernie Rhodes made behind the clashes back, and released it like this without their knowledge. look up the original it's way better

They wanted to be revolutionaries but they were just drunk, junkie shills.

David Ryan shut up

Man the lyrics hit me hard, haven't listened to this since high school probably

first punk song i heared playing tony haw on my ds when i was super young

Los vinchukas

When I fist heard this at 17 years old, it made me want to put on my Dr Martens, go outside and kick something. Now in my mid fifties... when I hear this song, I want to put on my Dr Martens, go outside and kick something.

You sir have rightous words and im in my early 50's

I just feel like dancing.

Well said.

I don't like the Clash but I love all of their songs... Is that possible?

Um, in theory, but it doesn't make much sense! LOL

I want to move the town to the clash city rockers
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
You better leave town if you only want to knock us
Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers

You see the rate they come down the escalator
Now listen to the tube train accelerator
Then you realize that you got to have a purpose
Or this place is gonna knock you out sooner or later

So don't complain about your useless employment
Jack it in forever tonight
Or shut your mouth and pretend you enjoy it
Think of all the money you've got

I want to liquefy everybody gone dry
Or plug into the aerials that poke up in the sky
Or burn down the suburbs with the half-closed eyes
You won't succeed unless you try

You owe me a move say the bells of St. Groove
Come on and show me say the bells of Old Bowie
When I am fitter say the bells of Gary Glitter
No one but you and I say the bells of Prince Far-I
No one but you and I say the bells of Prince Far-I

I want to move the town to the clash city rockers
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
You better leave town if you only want to knock us
Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers
Rock rock Clash city rockers

Wait?This is Background Game of
Tony Hawk Proving Ground

This song

It's i can't explain by the who

A Clash song with an ad... Ok

Tony Hawk Proving Grounds PS2 :')

Come to her in high school
With force
It seems she did not mind though she let me listen ...

Tony Hawk Proving Ground
\m/

Today this album turns 40 years old

The UK version, of which this song did not actually appear, was released in '77, you are right. But the US version, which does feature CCR, didn't come out until '79.

tengl una esposa jovennnnnnn!! , a perdon me equivoque de cancion xd

So don't complain about your useless employment

tony hawk proving grounds <3

The Clash first album is by far their BEST, and that is saying a lot!

jaming it in my car rn!😈

Listen 2X and it looks like Eminemù

Wouldn't it be cool if they were saying "Don't f*ck with the Clash City Rockers" in the end of the song?

It really

It would be cool but it’d also be cheesy

Diretamente de Tony Hawk Proving Grounds. 😎

favorita do the clash

Alessandro Santos já joguei mt esse jogo,é legal👍

Alessandro Santos to jogando ao som de the clash

Era cada trick ao som dessa música. velhos tempos :')

Oh my GOD!:) Very king!!!!!:)

TONY HAWK'S PROVING GROUND OMFG NOSTALGIC

FreedoFilms my favorite tony hawk game

SUFFER DAMAGE PLEASURE OF THE CLASH CITY ROCKERS!!!!

one of my on a deserted island album choices . classic, never get tired of it, when i was a youngin and everyone else was listening to bon jovi , I had my Clash music and tee shirts :-) ❤❤❤

OH SHUT YOUR MOUTH ,SHUT IT UP ,THINK OF ALL THE MONEY YOUVE GOT                                           YEAH YEAH !!!!!

This is the same riff as 'I Can't Explain'' by The Who.

Oh, plz

It is pretty similar

And it's similar to Guns On The Roof by...The Clash!

If anything, it's more like You're Gonna Miss Me by the 13th Floor Elevators.

Pete Townshend said he did`nt mind The Clash `borrowing` the riff as he `borrowed` it from The Kinks !

JACK FRUSCIANTE È USCITO DAL GRUPPO!

No aspe cosa

are there any other punk songs as amazing as this?

reklessheart Nah he's slamming to Joey Mitchell instead.

I d rather put - Buzzcocks-Fast Cars/ X-Ray Spex- World Turned Dayglo/ ANY Pistols- to take a cue from the lady. I let your Germs + DK stand. I let the wheatley core's Antmusic even stand. Me, I throw on -importante':
Adicts = STRAIGHTJACKET
Black Flag = SIX PACK
Subhumans = REASON FOR EXISTENCE or IT'S GONNA GET WORSE
Stooges = 1970 + I GOTTA RIGHT
Clash = WHITE RIOT, CAREER OPPORTUNITIES or This.
Adolescents = WORD ATTACK
Misfits = HYBRID MOMENTS
Generation X = DAY BY DAY
Fear = NEW YORK'S ALL RIGHT...or I DON'T CARE BOUT YOU
X = WE'RE DESPERATE
Circle Jerks = RED TAPE
TheDamned = NEW ROSE or NEATx3
Crass = DO THEY OWE US A LIVING?
Adicts = ORGANISED CONFUSION+ VIVA LE REVOLUCION
THAT'S a "punk rock' starter kit. In fact, that is 2 circle A starter kits, rite there... Before anyone calls bs on any, go re-acquaint yourself + see if, like or not, it doesn t represent [I do not claim this the only list, just off top of my head. I could make 50-now]. Fuck yeah. Bonus Track: BLOODSTAINS = Agent Orange

many....

Clash: "Complete Control", "White Man in Hammersmith Palais", "Safe European Home", and a few others
The Ruts: "Staring at the Rude Boys"
The Jam: "In the City"
Stiff Little Fingers: "Standing at the Edge of the World"
The Stranglers: "Peaches"
Spizz Energi: "Where's Captain Kirk?"
The Adolescents: "Kids of the Black Hole"
Suicidal Tendencies: "Institutionalized"
T.S.O.L.: "Code Blue" (really out-there lyrics, tho! lol)

Stones -Get off my cloud, Who- My Generation , Kinks - Im not like anybody else, Pretty Things- Midnight to Six...

best band in the galaxy. =D

RIP the old Bowie

the fuck you talking about?

+Julian Mier Joe Strummer says the name of David Bowie in this song ''Come on and show me say the bells of old Bowie'', so I said RIP Bowie =)

and it has this song

I have the tony hawk game on PlayStation 2 its called tony hawks proving ground

I have that game on Xbox 360 :D

I have it on ps3

best song by the clash

career opportunity?

english civil war?

Great memories of singing this while stopping traffic with loads of others walking in the middle of the road after seeing the clash perform at the Rainbow Theatre in 1977 . OMG was it really 38 years ago

Yep the Rainbow at Finsbury Park ,,,  :--D

cool!!!!!

Most of the lyrics are more or less unintelligible, that end bit where they sing 'Rock, rock, the Clash City rockers' sounds like 'Don't talk to Clash City rockers'.

This Song Is In A Tony Hawk Game On DS

The Real Song Background and Playstation2

@SimplyReg yup

thats what sent me here

Facts dude

Proving Ground

I will always LOVE this song. RIP Joe Strummer

Hes moving heaven to the clash city rockers ☺

The first Clash song I knowingly listened to.

fucking great song !!!!!!!!

+Sick Boy your good taste in music shall aide you in the future

thank you bro

i own the uk version, but some of the songs on the us version are actually better than the ones they replaced from the uk version.  this song is fucking amazing!

Al Messi le gusta la Tula igual que al Seba.

Tienes razón.

First punk song I ever heard, age 13, 1987. I'm fond of saying that "when I heard those opening chords, I never played my Huey Lewis tapes again"

Funny thing is this was 10 years before Huey Lewis.

@Sean Watts True enough, but don't forget that Huey had been around a long time already -- since 1971, when he put together his first band, Clover, who ended up backing Elvis Costello on his breakout debut album, My Aim Is True. He also played harmonica on Thin Lizzy's Live & Dangerous (1978), and in 1977 on the second album of The George Hatcher Band, a Southern rock outfit. You can also see him hanging with Nick Lowe and the boys in the Rockpile documentary, Born Fighter. So while he would wait a good five years to become a household name in '82, it's fair to say that Huey's effect was rippling out, if only subliminally. :-) Whatever you think of the guy, he certainly wasn't an overnight sensation.

Look into Youtube to MP3 converters. CHOOSE WISELY.

Favorite song!

Awesome!

Oh chancho maaaan (8)
