i hope Mann sues the shit out of someone. what would they have done to him over the Ramones?!

London calling to the faraway towns

Now that war is declared and battle come down

London calling to the underworld

Come out of the cupboard all you boys and girls

London calling now don't look at us

All that phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust

London calling see we ain't got no swing

'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in

Meltdown expected and the wheat is growing thin

Engines stop running but I have no fear

London is drowning and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone

Forget it, brother, you can go it alone

London calling upon the zombies of death

Quit holding out and draw another breath

London calling and I don't wanna shout

But while we were talking I saw you nodding out

London calling see we ain't got no highs

Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in

Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin

A nuclear error but I have no fear

London is drowning and I live by the river

Now get this

London calling yeah I was there too

An' you know what they said? Well some of it was true

London calling at the top of the dial

After all this won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much alike

what really gets me is that these anti-terrorist detectives (ooooooohh! fancy-schmancy!) took the word of one taxi driver, stopped a plane from departing, put all those passengers out just to question a (presumably middle-eastern or Indian) man about some GODDAMN song lyrics! and where has that taxi driver been hiding his head all these years not to know who the Clash are!? and how much fucking money are those detectives raking in to do their fucked up work? must we be afraid of EVERYTHING? we are a culture of fear. we are afraid of our own damn shadows.

also notice that the race of the taxi driver and the race of Mann were not mentioned. hmmmmm.
