Rudie Can't Fail

The Clash · London Calling 30th Anniversary Addition [2009]

Sing, Michael, sing

On the route of the 19 bus

We hear them sayin'



How you get so rude and a reckless

Don't you be so crude and a feckless

You've been drinkin' brew for breakfast

Rudie Can't Fail, no, no



We reply:

I know that my life make you nervous

But I tell you I can't live in service

Like a Doctor who was born for a purpose

Rudie Can't Fail, ok



I went to the market to realize my soul

What I need, I just don't have

First they curse, then they press me until 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 rude and a reckless

We been seen lookin' cool and speckless

We been drinkin' brew for breakfast

Rudie Can't Fail



I went to the market to realize my soul

'Cause what I need, I just don't have

First they curse, then they press me until I hurt

Rudie Can't Fail



Ok, ok!

So where you wanna go today?

Hey, boss man!

You're looking pretty smart

With your chicken skin suit

You think you're pretty hot

In your pork pie hat

Sky Juice is a topper brew!
