Set story I'm to tell you
Seemed like time ago
But no-one told him so
Still keeps the show pictures on the wall
Remind him of what he likes to call
The time when everybody knew his name
So sharp so cool too don't you know
The time when everybody dressed the same
Rude boy you can't change me now
They feel they should have told him so
Can't afford life in time woah oh
Refuse to move he won't let go
Rude boy you can't change me now
now now now
The past won't last no
Who told him so?
Madness took the beat and made it something special
He still looks back and thinks that it's fine
To stay the same and remeber a time
The time when everybody knew his name
So sharp so cool too don't you know
The time when everybody dressed the same
Rude boy you can't change me now
They feel they should have told him so
Can't afford life in time woah oh
Refuse to move he won't let go
Rude boy you can't change me now
now
You can't change me now
You can't change me. No no no
You can't change me. No no no
You can't change me. No no no
You can't change me
The time when everybody knew his name
So sharp so cool too don't you know
The time when everybody dressed the same
Rude boy you can't change me now
They feel they should have told him so
Can't afford life in time woah oh
Refuse to move he won't let go
Rude boy you can't change me now
now
You can't change me now
