And I wont make love to you
But I Feel love fell love


Jailhouse gets empty
Rudy gets plenty
The baton stick gets shorter

Rudy gets taller
Cant fight against the youth
Cause we're strong and the rude rude people

Cant fight against the youth
Casuse we're strong and the rude rude people


Baby get down
When I was a youth in 1983
It was the best day of my life, had the 89 vision

We didnt fuss or no fight
When all the little daughters wanna be my wife
It was playin on my guitar, on my guitar


I had to be there
I had to be there

I had to be there
I had to be there


When the rhythm playin
I know that I'm gonna be there yeah
Bud Gaugh will be singing there

And Eric Wilson will be bangin up there, yea
And we'll be all singin...with version, with version


Reagge version
Version, Version, Version oh


What has been told to the wise and up-rooted
Its gonna be revealed unto, and Sublime
Rudy Rudy Rudy

Cant fight against the youth, right now
Them are rude, rude people
Cant fight against the resistance, oh right now

Them are rude, rude people

We gonna rule this land among children

We gonna rule this land...

Cause when that rhythm it was playin on my guitar

On my guitar

I had to be there

I had to be there
I had to be there
I had to be there


When I was a youth it was the best day
It was the best day of my life

We had the 89' vision

We didnt fuss or no fight

When all the little daughters wanna be my wife
When that rhythm it was playin on my guitar
On my guitar


I had to be there
I had to be there

I had to be there
I had to be there
Had to be there...


Jailhouse gets empty
Rudy gets plenty

Baton stick gets shorter
Rudy gets taller, taller
And fight against the youth

Cause we're strong, them are rude, rude people
Cant fight against the youth
