Clash "Clampdown"

I think that this song is talking about the vicious cycle of the working class that forces them to be submissive and give up their humanity. I believe that the clampdown is the social pressure to follow this cycle. Some lyrical proof is that the speaker starts off as a rebellious individual who attempts to resist this pressure, but by the end of the song he has given in and become part of the clampdown. Some musical evidence of this is the monotonous and almost battery-like tempo that is present throughout the song. A propaganda connection that this song has is the line where it says that they will sell their twisted words to the young. This says that the clampdown pressure is twisted and disguised to deceive people about what it really is.
