It's a Rockin' World
(Strummer)

Lyrics

Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about
It's a shockin' world, could be what's so great about
It's a rockin' world, there ain't nothing fake about it

Whoa whoa, now welcome to this Earth bro
Whoa whoa, we're tryin' to find an answer
Whoa whoa, we got a surface module and a belly-dancer
Oh-oh sidewalk surf,
A boy is tryin' to show a girl what he is worth
both arms in plaster, but he's still gonna
Go right up and ask her

Why is it barbaric is it, biological?
Why is it kinetic is it astrophysiological?
It's an epidemic, there's nothing logically
Logical, logical, logical

It's a rockin' world, make no mistake about
It's a shockin' world, could be what's so great about
It's a rockin' world, there ain't nothing fake about it

Now why do babies cry?
I asked the cold today but all he did was fly
And he took the scenic way
The laws of chaos, left us all in disarray
Now take the bumblebee, a lousy rotten' bum
Not a shred of money just a lazy buzzin' hum
He takes all our honey and it's the garden of Eden, that's gonna pay that's who.

Earth call, back to base
Can't make no head or tail of this place
Earth, home, we're returnin' back to base, ace.

Can we be notified when loves comes of age,
Does the cell divide in the - in the initial phase
Its all co-dified - DNA stage

Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about
It's a shockin' world, that could be what's so great about
A It's a rockin' world, there ain't nothing fake about it.
