Rude & Wreckless - The Slackers

I asked my father for some advice

He answered quickly, he didn’t think twice

He said a thinkin' man don’t do too much

Know what you’re doing and do as you must

And learn to be rude and reckless

Don’t make a fuss

You have to be rude and reckless

Do as you must

You have to be hard and callous

In your heart and your hands

Learn to be rude and reckless

It’d make you a man

I said now Papa, I’m just a boy

I want to get groovy, I want to bring joy

He said that’s well and good for the son of a richer man

But that ain’t you now sonny, please understand

You have to be rude and reckless

It’d make you a man

You have to be rude and reckless

Don’t misunderstand

Women will try to run you

And when they’re done

You’ll be a nice young man

Not too much fun

You have to be hard and callous

You have to be strong

You have to rude and reckless

Don’t be all wrong

You have to be a no hesitation

Don’t think too much

'Cause a good love is sayin'

Of a hand that leave a touch

You have to be…

I said now Papa, I’m just a boy

I want to get groovy, yeah, I want to bring joy

He said that’s well and good for the son of a richer man

But that ain’t you now sonny, please, please understand

You have to be rude and reckless

It’s part of the plan

You have to be rude and reckless

Do right by your fellow man

There should be no political correctness

You have to drive fast

You have to be strong, not wrong

You have to be strong

You have to be rude and reckless…
