IT'S A ROCKIN' WORLD
Joe Strummer


Well it's a rockin' world, make no mistake about it
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 
On the sidewalk's earth 
A boy is tryin' to show a girl what he is worth 
Poke on the 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 asyphysiological? 
It's an epidemic, there's nothing logically 
Logical, logical, logical 

It's a rockin' world, make no mistake about it
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 cynic 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 for the Garden of Eden people has got to 
pay, that's who... 

Well we go, back to base 
Can't make no error in tale of this place 
But home we're returnin' back to base, ase 

Can we be notified when, love comes of age
Does a cell divide in the - in the initial phase 
Let's all coded by in the - DNA stage 

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