The Clash - charlie don’t surf

이 노래는 찰리가 서핑을 하지 않으며, 전쟁과 갈등으로 얼룩진 세상의 현실을 반영한다
권력을 쥐고 있는 세력에 대한 비판과 더불어 다양한 사회적 문제를 언급하며 인류의 진정한 배움 부족을 강조한다
마지막으로, 세계가 더 나은 방향으로 나아가야 함을 시사한다

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's going to be a napalm star
Everybody wants to rule the world
It must be something we get from birth
One truth is we never learn
Satellites will make space burn
We've been told to keep the strangers out
We don't like them starting to hang around
We don't like them all over town
Across the world we are going to blow them down
Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's going to be a napalm star
The reign of the super powers must be over
So many armies can't free the earth
Soon the rock will roll over
Africa is choking on their Coca Cola
It's a one a way street in a one horse town
One way people starting to brag around
You can laugh, put them down
These one way people going to blow us down
