JOE STRUMMER â ITâS A ROCKINâ 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

It s a rockin world, there ain t nothing fake about it

Well it s a rockin world, make no mistake about
It s a shockin world, could be what s so great about it
It s a rockin world, there ain t nothing fake about it
