Rudie Can't Fail

[Intro: Joe Strummer] Sing, Michael, sing On the route of the 19 Bus Hear them sayin' [Verse 1: Mick Jones] How you get so rude and a reckless? Don't you be so crude and a feckless You been drinking brew for breakfast Rudie can't fail, no, no (We reply) I know that my life makes you nervous But I tell you that I can't live in service Like the doctor whose born for a purpose Rudie can't fail [Chorus: Both] (Ok) I went to the market to realise my soul Cause what I need I just don't have (Don't have) First they curse, then they press me 'till I hurt We say, "Rudie can't fail" [Verse 2: Mick Jones] First you must cure your temper Then you find a job in the paper You need someone for a saviour Rudie can't fail (We reply) Now we get a rude and a reckless We been seen lookin' cool and speckless We been drinking brew for breakfast Rudie can't fail (oh no) [Chorus] [Joe Strummer] Ok, ok So where you wanna go today? Hey boss man, huh, yeah So you're looking pretty smart (Chicken skin suit) with a chicken skin suit You think you're pretty hot (Pork pie hat) in your pork pie hat Rudie can't fail
