A truly classic '70s punk anthem. I always thought of it as just a kids-are-alright type of song but recently I read a quote from Richard Jobson where he said it was actually meant to be a commentary on disaffected local youth winding up as cannon fodder for the British Army in Ireland. Which raised my estimation of not just the song but of Jobson himself, who I always thought of as a bit of an eejit.
They had other good songs, of course, and one of these days I'll post another one.
