Rubber Bullets

Feel The Benefit

You went out on the street

Without your shoes on

You didn't listen

What your momma said

She said you won't feel the benefit

Won't feel the benefit

And if we all went out

Without our shoes on

Tell me where would we be

Where would we be

If all the people in the world lost their reason

What would we see

Where would we be

If all the entertainers in the world

Lost their music

What would they play

What could they say

To pacify the crowd to justify themselves

Won't feel the benefit

You're like a cloud behind the sun

Like the face behind the clown

You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown

And you can never look back

A leaf that's borne upon the wind

A cardboard suitcase in your hand

The wanderer soon returns

And finds the colour of the grass is

Just the same

On the other side of the tracks

Oh no

Ooh when you smile it's like a holiday

Ooh pack your bags and we can get away

We'll float on a Queen down to Rio

There's no need to shave

We'll be stinking like rum in a punch

You can walk on the water

You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo

You can smoke a little ganja

Float like a cloud over Rio Rio

You can ride with the Gauchos

Swinging your bolas in a red bandana

You can run with the devil

Takin' your chances with Senorita

You can drink a lot of coffee in Brazil

But the bill is gonna make you ill

So you can go out on the street

And take your chances

But if you do you better do it right

Or you won't feel the benefit

Won't feel the benefit

Spin the wheel and take your chances

And your number might come up

Though the odds may be in favor of the house

If all the people in the world

Would say together

We're all black and white

We're all day and night

If all the people in the world

Could sing together

How would it sound

What would we feel

We'd all feel the benefit
