[Lyric] Rudie Cant Fail Live (Joe Strummer)

On the route of the 19 Bus

How you get so rude and reckless?
Don't you be so crude and feckless
You been drinkin' brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail, no, no
So we reply
I know that my life makes you nervous
But I tell you that I can't live in service
Like the doctor who's born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail

I went to the market to realize my soul
What I need I just don't have
First they curse, then they press me 'til I hurt
Rudie can't fail

First you must cure your temper
Then find a job in a paper
You need someone for a saviour
Rudie can't fail, oh no
Now we get a'rude and a'reckless
To been seen looking cool and speckless
An' drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail, oh no
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 'til I hurt
Rudie can't fail

Looking pretty cool with a chicken skin suit
Looking pretty hot in your pork pie hat

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
