It was the album's third track in the original version and second in the US version. Song informationThe song was originally titled "I'm So Bored With You",[1][2] a love song written by Mick Jones. According to Keith Topping's book The Complete Clash, the song was about Jones's then girlfriend, the same woman who was the topic of "Deny".[3] According to the story often told by the song's authors Joe Strummer and Jones, including on the documentary Westway to the World, the change came about by Strummer mishearing the song's title when Jones played it to him during their first meeting at their Davies Road squat.[1] The band's early recordings, including the popular live bootleg 5 Go Mad At The Roundhouse, include the song in its original form. However, by the time of the concert on 20 September 1976 at the Roundhouse, Camden, the song was performed using its new title.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}} The intro to the song is a variant on the intro to Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols. ThemesOriginally demoed with slightly different lyrics during The Clash's second demo session with their soundman Mickey Foote as producer, "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A."'s lyrics do exactly what its title suggests, condemning several aspects of the American society,[4] such as drug problems in the US Army (particularly heroin), the support of the American government to dictatorships in the Third World (later denounced on the Sandinista! track "Washington Bullets"), and popular police drama series Starsky and Hutch and Kojak. It also criticizes Richard Nixon, mentioning the Watergate scandal's tapes. Personnel

That's what we were saying. It was always misconstrued when ever we came and played in the States. They would say, "what do you mean, 'I'm so bored with the USA.'" But it wasn't meant to be that. }} 6. ^{{cite news |last=Coplan |first=Chris |url= https://consequenceofsound.net/2013/12/arcade-fire-covers-the-clashs-im-so-bored-with-the-u-s-a/ |title=Arcade Fire covers The Clash’s “I’m So Bored With the U.S.A.” |work=Consequence of Sound |date=6 December 2013|accessdate=13 May 2018}} References{{Refbegin}}
