JOE STRUMMER – IT’S A ROCKIN’ WORLD
It's not a very well known Strummer song, but I really like it. It is not a 
Mescaleros song as it seems to get said a lot. The guys in this once off 
collaboration actually include Flea and Tom Morello. I'm sure no-one cares but I 
thought I'd throw it out there anyway. The future is unwritten.
Well Ait's a rockin' F#world, Dmake no misEtake about 
AIt's a shockin' F#world, Dcould be what's so Egreat about it 
AIt's a rockin' F#world, there Dain't nothing Efake about Ait 
AWhoa F#whoa, now Dwelcome to this EEarth bro 
AWhoa F#whoa, we're Dtryin' to find an Eanswer 
AWhoa F#whoa, we Dgot a surface Emodule and a Abelly-dancer E  
On a Dsidewalk surf, Ga boy is tryin' to show a Dgirl what he is wortGh
DBoth arms in plaster, Gbut he's Astill gonna 
DGo right up and Eask her 
AWhy is love magF#netic is it, DbioElogical? 
AWhy is it freF#netic is it DastrophysolEogical? 
AIt's an epiF#demic, there's Dnothing Elogically 
ALogical, logical, logical E  
Well Ait's a rockin' F#world, Dmake no misEtake about
