The red fire truck

The town burns

The people run out of the school

 

I stand on the street corner like an idiot

Who am I?

I’m rudy…

 

Who is rudy?

rudy's that guy… ya know!

Yes… but who is he?

 

The guy… who stood on the corner… while the school burnt on to town

Yep that’s me

I’m rudy!

 

Dry leaves fall to ignite the flames

People screaming about priceless family pictures

But there rudy stood, proud and tall

 

Why does Rudy stand so tall?

Because he’s rudy!

Yea but who is rudy?

 

I’m rudy

The guy who stood around while the red fire trucks blazed around town

Yep… the guy who stood tall while all the buildings fell to the ground

 

Why didn’t I run?

Why didn’t I scream?

Why didn’t I help the firemen?

 

Because I’m rudy…

 

The real question at hand is…

Not who is rudy

But are you rudy?
