“I’m So Bored With the U.S.A” is the third song on the Clash’s debut album (known only as The Clash, 1977). On the US version of the album (released two years later in 1979) it is the second song. The song was often the opening number during the band’s early 1979 American tour.

[Verse 1]
Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag
Yankee dollar talk
To the dictator of the world
In fact it's giving orders
And they can't afford to miss a word
[Chorus]
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
But what can I do?
[Verse 2]
Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
Because killers in America
Work seven days a week
Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's play the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes
[Chorus]
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
But what can I do?
[Chorus]
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
But what can I do?
[Chorus]
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
I'm so bored with the U.S.A
But what can I do?
[Outro]
Move up Starsky
For the C.I.A
Suck on Kojak
For the U.S.A
