Biography:
The Specials (also known as The Special AKA) is an English “2 Tone” ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. Their music combines a danceable ska beat with punk’s energy, underpinned by an informed political and social stance.
The group was formed by songwriter/keyboardist Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals) and a rhythm section featuring Horace Panter (bass) and John Bradbury (drums; born 16 February 1953, died 28 December 2015).

The whole basic bassline for the whole song is:
C F G
G -----------------------||
D ----2------------------|| (this is repeated ad infinitum throughout
A -3--------3----------2-|| the whole song)
E -------------1----3----||
So basically the chord changes are C, C, F, G. The lyrics are:
Stop your messing around
Better think of your future
Time is stritting right out
Creating problems in town
Rudi, a message to you
Rudi, a message to you
Stop your fooling around
Time is stritting right out
Better think of your future
Or else you~ll wind up in jail
Rudi, a message to you
Rudi, a message to you
Stop your messing around
Better think of your future
Time is stritting right out
Creating problems in town
Rudi, a message to you
Rudi, a message to you
