It's about fightin' toe to toe.

One man's decision brings another's opposition completely unbound,

Down on the flats where the seaside meets my lonely youngtown.

         B5                                                   G5
Well all the rudies and skins well they're out on the streets making the way on the rift,

        A                                       D
between the bottles and sex they smash and they wreck for something to live.

B5                                        G5
Sometimes you know there's no place to go but to a long life of crime,

         A5                               D5
Yeah but it's so wrong to steal someone's very last meal to profit up a dime.

         B5                                      G5
Your poe poes and greys well they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys,

         A5                                      D5
Well you took a bite outta the apple of decision that got ya there boy.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#1 by Diego Rodriguez at Mar 8, 1997 at 9:09 PM EST
	i dont thihnk so, rudeboys were what kids who were into the 2nd wave ska in coventry and then the rest England called themselvs. this song is clerly (to me) a tribute to the specials and the genre they kicked off, and yeah i think the guest appearance kind-of proves that. not only that but if you speak/hear in english then its pretty clear he says rudeboys, not bootboys. hooligans and rudeboys are supposed to be opposites. like the hooligans who turned up to 2tone gigs and caused trouble.

No Picture James Wanna Be	#2 by James Makowiecki at Oct 4, 2005 at 11:13 AM EST
	What a great song. Patented Rancid and delivers nothing but the best

No Picture health risk Rhythm Player	#3 by health risk at May 4, 2006 at 2:47 AM EST
	this is such a touching song. i thought it was "ska's been stricken on their face"...and "black and white, who are for change without violence"...still...awesome song

No Picture lindsey Average	#4 by lindsey Rogogo at May 14, 2006 at 1:29 AM EST
	Ummm..excuse me.Banana is right.They say "Bootboys" not rudeboys.Bootboys as in skinheads.Rudeboys does kind of fit in with this song but trust me, it is bootboys.Plus if you listen to the song very close you'll understand it says bootboys.And that part "making the way on the dole" is actually "making the way on the rift."To me (I could be wrong)I think this song is about the tension between rudeboys(hooligans) and the skinheads(bootboys) but they all have they're own way of life.Ok I'm done.

No Picture nick Average	#5 by nick coffeen at Jul 20, 2006 at 7:35 AM EST
	actually i went and listened to it again and it sounds like tim is saying "bootboys" and lynval is saying "rudeboys" which makes sense.

No Picture Indy Lead Player	#6 by Indy Windrose at Mar 11, 2007 at 4:20 AM EST
	It's Rancid and The Specials right?

No Picture Carly Average	#7 by Carly at Apr 6, 2007 at 8:22 AM EST
	Yes it is bootboys, i always thought i was rudeboys until now. I think skagirlie has it all figured. Although I cant believe no one has mentioned anything about "The Specials" yet. The song features vocals from Lynval and Neville and guitar from Roddy Radiation. How cool is that?
