Straight To Hell -- The Clash



If you can play on the fiddle How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation As railhead towns feel the steel mills
rust water froze In the generation Clear as winter ice This is your paradise
There ain't no need for ya  Go straight to hell boys


Y'wanna join in a chorus  Of the Amerasian blues  When it's Christmas
out in Ho Chi Minh City  Kiddie say papa  papa-san take me home
See me got photo photo  Photograph of you Mamma  Mamma-san
Of you and Mamma  Mamma-san  Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice. Straight to hell  Oh Papa-san  Please take me home 
Papa-san  Everybody they wanna go home So Mamma-san says


You wanna play mind-crazed banjo  On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International  Hah! Junkiedom U.S.A.  Where procaine proves the purest
rock man groove  and rat poison  The volatile Molatov says-

Go straight to hell  Can you really cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants  They wanna sing all night long  It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier  Any hemisphere  No man's land and there ain't no
asylum here  King Solomon he never lived round here  Go straight to hell boys






This song is about the Vietnam war. More precisely, about the children the GI's had with Vietnamese women, and their desire to go to the states.  The "Hell" the lyrics refer to is the USA, and the wrong idea immigrants have that there they will find a better life. "There ain't no need for ya, go straight to hell boys" means the rejection form their fathers and the country                                                                                                                                  (songfacts.com)
