Clash The Rudie Can`t Fail Lyrics

Rudie Can`t Fail Lyrics

(strummer/jones)

 

 Sing, michael, sing-on the route of the 19 bus

 Hear them sayin'

 How you get a rude and a reckless?

 Don't you be so crude and a feckless

 You been drinking brew for breakfast

 Rudie can't fail

 

 So we reply

 I know that my life make you nervous

 But i tell you that i can't live in service

 Like the doctor who was born for a purpose***

 Rudie can't fail

 

 I went to the market to realise my soul

 'cause what i need i just don't have

 First they curse, then they press me till i hurt

 We say rudie can't fail

 

 We hear them sayin'

 Now first you must cure your temper

 Then you find a job in the paper

 You need someone for a saviour

 Oh, rudie can't fail

 

 We reply

 Now we get a rude and a reckless

 We been seen lookin' cool an' a speckless

 We been drinking brew for breakfast

 So rudie can't fail

 

 Okay!

 So where you wanna go today?

 Hey boss man!

 You're looking pretty smart

 In your chicken skin suit

 

 You think you're pretty hot

 In your pork pie hat

 But...rudie can't fail

 Look out, look out...

 Sky juice!...10 cents a bottle!
