[Intro]

Go!

And I won't give it up to you

And I feel love, feel love, love, love

[Pre-Chorus]

Jailhouse gets empty

Rudy gets plenty

The baton stick gets shorter

Rudy gets taller

[Chorus]

'Em fight against the youth, 'cause we're strong

Them are rude, rude people

Can't fight against the youth, 'cause we're strong

'Em are rude, rude people

Long, say it again

[Verse 1]

Now, when I was a youth in 1983

It was the best day of my life

Had the '89 vision, we didn't fuss or no fight

When all the little daughters wanna be my wife

A vision, 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

And the rhythm playin'

I know that I'm gonna be there, yeah

Bud Gaugh will be singing there

And Eric Wilson will be bangin' out there, yeah

Oh, and we'll be all singin', with version, with version

Reggae version, version, version, version, oh-oh

Oh!

[Guitar Solo]

Ooh

[Bridge 1]

What has been told to the wise and uprooted? Yeah, it's gonna be revealed unto babes, and Sublime

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy

[Chorus]

Can't fight against the youth

Right now, them are rude, rude people

Can't fight against the resistance

Oh, right now, 'em are rude, rude people

[Bridge 2]

We gonna rule this land among children

We gonna rule this land

[Verse 2]

'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

Oh, when I was a youth, it was the best day

It was the best day of my life

We had the '89 vision, we didn't 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, I had to be there

Had to be there

[Guitar Solo]

Uh-huh, ooh

Oh, bo! Bo! Bo! Bo!

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Ah!

[Pre-Chorus]

Jailhouse gets empty

And Rudy gets plenty

Baton stick gets shorter

Rudy gets taller, taller

[Chorus]

'Em fight against the youth, 'cause we're strong

Them are rude, rude people

Can't fight against the youth
