Many Moons |
| Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo |
| Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo |
| Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo |
| We’re dancing free, but we’re stuck here underground |
| And everybody trying to figure they way out |
| Hey hey hey hey, all we ever wanted to say |
| Was chased erased and then thrown away |
| And day to day, we live in a daze |
| We march all around til' the sun goes down night children |
| Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom) |
| You’re free but in your mind, your freedom’s in a bind |
| Oh make it rain, ain’t a thing in the sky to fall |
| (The silver bullet’s in your hand and the war’s heating up) |
| And when the truth goes BANG the shouts splatter out |
| (Revolutionize your lives and find a way out) |
| And when you’re growing down instead of growing up |
| (You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther) |
| Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love? |
| (Na na na…) |
| He lived in sector ten |
| He had a friend named Benjamin |
| Sail away, sail away Susan |
| So strong for so long |
| All I wanna do is sing my simple song |
| Square or round, rich or poor |
| At the end of day and night all we want is more |
| I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around |
| I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom |
| You’re free but in your mind, your freedom’s in a bind |
| Oh make it rain, ain’t a thing in the sky to fall |
| (The silver bullet’s in your hand and the war’s heating up) |
| And when the truth goes BANG the shouts splatter out |
| (Revolutionize your lives and find a way out) |
| And when you’re growing down instead of growing up |
| (You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther) |
| Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love? |
| (Na na na…) |
| Civil rights, civil war |
| Hood rat, crack whore |
| Carefree, nightclub |
| Closet drunk, bathtub |
| Outcast, weirdo |
| Stepchild, freak show |
| Black girl, bad hair |
| Broad nose, cold stare |
| Tap shoes, Broadway |
| Tuxedo, holiday |
| Creative black, Love song |
| Stupid words, erase song |
| Gun shots, orange house |
| Dead man walking with a dirty mouth |
| Spoiled milk, stale bread |
| Welfare, bubonic plague |
| Record deal, light bulb |
| Keep back kid now corporate thug |
| Breast cancer, common cold |
| HIV, lost hope |
| Overweight, self esteem |
| Misfit, broken dream |
| Fish tank, small bowl |
| Closed minded, dark hold |
| Cybergirl, droid control |
| Get away now they tryna steal your soul |
| Microphone, one stage |
| Tomboy, outrage |
| Street fight, bloody war |
| Instigators, third floor |
| Promiscuous child, broken heart |
| STD, quarantine |
| Heroin user, coke head |
| Final chapter, death bed |
| Plastic sweat, metal skin |
| Metallic tears, mannequin |
| Carefree, night club |
| Closet drunk, bathtub |
| White house, Jim Crow |
| Dirty lies, my regards |
| And when the world just treats you wrong |
| Just come with me and I’ll take you home |
| No need to pack a bag |
| Who put your life in the danger zone? |
| You running dropping like a rolling stone |
| No time to pack a bag |
| You just can’t stop your hurt from hanging on |
| The old man dies and then a baby’s born |
| Chan, chan, chan, change your life |
| And when the world just treats you wrong |
| Just come with us and we’ll take you home |
| Shan, shan shan shan-gri la |
| Na na na na na na na na na na na |
