Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Know Your Rights

Performed by The Clash

This is a public service announcement

With guitar

Know your rights

All three of them

Number one: you have the right not to be killed

Murder is a crime!

Unless it was done by a policeman or aristocrat

Know your rights!

And number 2: you have the right to food money

Providing of course you don't mind a little

Investigation, humiliation

And if you cross your fingers, rehabilitation

Know your rights

These are your rights

Oh, know these rights

Number three:

You have the right to free speech

As long as

You're not dumb enough to actually try it

Know your rights

These are your rights

Know your rights

These are your rights

All three of them!

And it has been suggested in some quarters

That this is not enough

Well...

Get off the streets, run!
