Rudie Fails Lyrics
There's a way to make it out in time
Keep the cash under the mattress
They're down in the streets
Run for cover
And if your money ain't no good that's fine
While everyone's duking it out and taking names
Well I'll just take a number
'Cause I
No I don't care at all
No I don't care at all, no no no
No I don't care at all!
Nah!
And if it's any consolation
I never got mine so
While you're out taking aim
And taking orders
They're armed
To the teeth
Oh relax
Take a seat
Now we'll all laugh
In our sleeps
When its over
Cause I
No I don't care at all
No I don't care at all, no no no
Yeah you could beat the
Living daylights
Right out of me
I don't care at all
No I don't care at all
No! No! No!
I see you running for dear life
I feel so sorry for you
No I don't care at all!
I see you running for dear life
I feel so sorry but I
I don't care at all
Keep the cash under the mattress
They're down in the streets
Run for cover
While everyone's duking it out and taking names
Well I'll just take a number
'Cause I
No I don't care at all, no no no
No I don't care at all!
Nah!
I never got mine so
While you're out taking aim
And taking orders
To the teeth
Oh relax
Take a seat
Now we'll all laugh
In our sleeps
When its over
Cause I
No I don't care at all, no no no
Yeah you could beat the
Living daylights
Right out of me
I don't care at all
No! No! No!
I see you running for dear life
I feel so sorry for you
No I don't care at all!
I see you running for dear life
I feel so sorry but I
I don't care at all

When singing the chorus in background stephen patterson is singing "not at all, not at all" instead of "no no no, and in the last verse, he says, " I see U running for dear life, i feel sorry for you", i see you running for dear life, but i..

this song is awesome. i know that's not productive to a conversation, but it just is.
when i first heard the title of the song, i immediately thought of the clash song "rudie can't fail"...i wonder what the connection is between the two songs. any thoughts?
As far as I (and a few friends) can tell, this songs seems to refer to the events (and their aftermath) of September 11th, 2001. The first stanza appears to detail the events (including "[making] it out in time," people "down in the streets," and the instruction to "run for cover"). The second stanza mentions people "duking it out and taking names," possible referring to the subsequent war in Afghanistan, and the narrator taking a number, possibly referring to victims of the attacks becoming statistics, thereby losing their names. In the second verse, he says, "if there's any consolation, I never got mine," which (along with the second stanza line "if you're money ain't no good that's fine") could be a reference to the 1.8 million dollars average compensation given to victim's families.
