I mean The Clash can be pretty yobbish but it can be part of the appeal.

"You gotta let me know
Should I wear a mask or no?
If I wear it there'll be trouble
If I don't it will be double
If I listen to you Joe
The answer has got to be no."

RATM understood this. So did Guthrie, Marley, The Clash and most other political artists with any significant influence.

Utah Phillips said it pretty good. If the only people you can talk to are nerds and academics then socialism is nothing but an elitist virtue signal.

The offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I'd better take anything they'd got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?

Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity, the ones that never knock

I hate the army an' I hate the R.A.F.
I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
And I won't open letter bombs for you

Bus driver....ambulance man....ticket inspector

They're gonna have to introduce conscription
They're gonna have to take away my prescription
If they wanna get me making toys
If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice

Careers
Careers
Careers

Ain't never gonna knock
These lyrics work because of their directness, not any great sense of poetry. Quit being a petulant gatekeeper.

A lot of punks hated The Clash for the same reasons people hate on RATM, because their politics were considered too simplistic, because they were on a major label, because of Joe Strummer's privileged background, etc.
