Song of the Day: The Clash - Rudy Can't Fail

Lyrics

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, no, no
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

(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"
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 a speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast, Rudie can't fail, oh no
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
Rudie can't fail
Ok, ok
So where you wanna go today?
Hey boss man
So you're looking pretty smart (Chicken skin suit) in your chicken skin suit
You think you're pretty hot (Pork pie hat) in your pork pie hat (?)
? Sy choose to get bob a room?
Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail (? Bubble bath, worth a bob?), Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail (? secret tooth, only?)
