[Intro: Joe Strummer]
We don't want any of that shit

[Verse 1: Joe Strummer and Mick Jones]
How you get so rude and'a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and'a feckless
You been drinkin' brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail, no, no
(You've been a naughty boy)
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

[Chorus]
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail

[Verse 2: Mick Jones]
First you must cure your temper
Then find a job in a paper
You need someone for a savior
Rudie can't fail
Now we get a'rude and a'reckless
To been seen looking cool and specklеss
An' drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail
[Chorus]
Rudiе can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail

[Bridge: Joe Strummer]
Okay, okay
So where you wanna go today?
You been today?
Where you wanna go, I say?

Went to the market and they didn't have
What I need so bad (You've been a naughty boy)
Boom

[Outro]
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
