Lyrics of Jailhouse by Sublime
intro
Go
And I won't make love to you
And I feel the love, feel the love, la love
chorus
Jailhouse gets empty
Rudy gets plenty
The baton stick gets shorter
Rudy gets taller
chorus
Can't fight against the youth
'Cause we're strong and them are rude, rude people
Can't fight against the youth
'Cause we're strong and the rude, rude people
Long, baby get now
verse
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
"Like A Virgin", it was playin on my guitar, on my guitar
bridge
I had to be there
I had to be there
I had to be there
I had to be there
verse
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, yeah
Oh, and we'll be all singin' with version, with version
Reagge version, version, version, version oh
bridge
What has been told to the wise and up-rooted
Yeah, it's gonna be revealed unto babes, and Sublime
chorus
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
verse
We gonna rule this land among children
We gonna rule this land
bridge
'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
verse
When I was a youth it was the best day
It was the best day of my life
We had the 89 vision
bridge
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
chorus
Jailhouse gets empty
And Rudy gets plenty
The baton stick gets shorter
Rudy gets taller, taller
outro
And fight against the youth
'Cause we're strong, them are rude, rude people
Cant fight against the youth
Writer(s): Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Neville Livingstone
