[edit] Lyrics
She had all the tattoos and the piercings Hates everything says everybody’s wrong She dressed like she slept with Guns and Roses But I busted her singin’ all the boy bands songs She had to go simply because And I let her go like she never was ‘Cause I didn’t know, and I don’t care what she does She had to go ‘cause she didn’t know who Joe Strummer was At night when we stood in line for hours Waiting to see my favorite punk rock band I bled with the passion and the power But she’d only there for all the fashion trends with her clueless friends She had to go simply because And I let her go like she never was ‘Cause I didn’t know, and I don’t care what she does She had to go ‘cause she didn’t know who Joe Strummer was She started talking ‘bout being my wife But why would I wanna be with someone who doesn't know The Clash saved my life It’s not hat she didn’t rock my casbah It’s not that I couldn’t burn her London down It’s just that she kept on disappearing Whenever the Sandinistas came to town and burned it down She had to go simply because And I let her go like she never was ‘Cause I didn’t know, and I don’t care what she does She had to go ‘cause she didn’t know who Joe Strummer was She don’t know Joe
