Indeed... Some day our kids will study Clash lyrics in school.

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
And the temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

Certainly semesters worth of man-hours could be spent explicating lyrics with this kind of timeless genius.

Easily two semesters. Probably more.

All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it
Everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
Nobody wants
To go to jail!
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own

I’ve come to the conclusion music died along with personalities pre recession/limewire/pirating/ipod/digital downloads

then you're spending time on the wrong stations / sites. i'm heavily involved in college radio, and i can assure you there is tons of good stuff out there. bandcamp is a great place to start, because not only is there a ridiculous amount of music there, but the money you spend on the site goes directly to the artist.
