"This is a public service announcement... with guitar"
Apparantly, there are only three rights you need to know:
1. You have the right not to be killed (unless by police or aristocrat)
2. You have the right to food (provided you don't mind investigation/ humiliation)
3. You have the right to free speech (so long as youre not dumb enough to actually try it.)
Cheery, huh? (Full Lyrics)
The live version is from 1983's US Festival.

I love the Clash - they were at their best when they were political. This is one of my favorite songs, great choice.
Most of the lyrics in the song are so heavy-handed, they make me eyeroll, but I absolutely love that opening line.
