Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone

It's times like these when a neck looks for a knife A wrist for a razor, a heart is longing for bullets Tension is high under sea and over sky Pressure drop, people are acting foolish Ooh - but it's easy to see! Ooh - we could dance and be free Ooh - to that 2-tone beat! But it looks like it's gone... Gangsters and clowns with a stereotyped sound It's coming like a ghosst town - someone always knew it Hatred and shame, a racialist game Cycles of blame - someone sang me through it Who? well it's easy to see Ooh - we could dance to be free Ooh - to that 2-tone beat! But it looks like it's gone... I asked jerry, he told terry, terry sang a song just for me Lynvall gave a message to me Rhoda screamed and then she asked me "where have all the rude boys gone?"
