The Clash-Lose This Skin
"Oh! Mama, Mama look there!
Your children are playing in that street again
Don't you know what happened down there?
A youth of fourteen got shot down there
The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town
The killing clowns, the blood money men
Are shooting those Washington bullets again"
(And again, and again, and again)
"Washington bullets"
(The Clash. 1980)

"Yes, l’m running down the railway track
Could you help me? police on my back
They will catch me if i dare drop back
Won't you give me all the speed I lack
I've been running Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Running Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
What have I done?"
"Police on my back"
(The Clash. 1980)

43 years later, this song is unfortunately still an active subject.
Like, we learn nothing.
"They say the immigrants steal the hubcaps
Of respected gentlemen
They say it would be wine and roses
If England were for Englishmen again"
"Something about England"
(The Clash. 1980)

Listening to this great #antimilitarist song this morning, I spotted this lines :
"...
For he who will die
Is he who will kill?
Maybe I want to see the wheatfields
Over Kiev and down to the sea
[Chorus]
It's up to you, not to heed the call up
I don't want to die
It's up to you, not to hear the call up
I don't want to kill
...
"The Call-up"
The Clash. 1980
