Lyrics Hot Gossip - The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Hot Gossip

Yeah I hear you talking
Baby what you gonna do?
There’s a war going on, now
And they blame it on you and me
Talk about safety, freedom, democracy
I don’t believe 'em
You know if they want my vote
They gotta try a little bit more harder
You can’t talk peace when you’re making war
Too much of this hot gossip
Something going on
A riot going on
To the crack of day
I’m going, going gone
We gotta get down right now
Get on up and shut this shit down
Shut it down
It’s much more than black and blue
Its death and destruction
And how much does it cost?
Burning up the roof
You’re lying on the truth
You got to die and prove
They gotta prove to you
So who the hell is you to tell 'em what to do?
I’m not backing up a bit and watch you have a fit
Your hot gossip
I hear you talking loud
Can you hear me now can’t hit me now
You try to sell us out, what is that about?
And trying to blow us up
Yo my man what’s up?
While the people down in dust die at your trust
You say do my bust so we gotta fuss
Hot gossip we ain’t got a sip
You ain’t gotta trip
What you coming with?
What you coming with?
I got the blues alright
I feel so bad
Bad!
People we gotta get on up
We gotta get up!
And shut this down
Bass
‘Cause it ain’t right and I know I know
When they wrong they wrong
That there’s something better out there
Tell 'em in the song
‘Cause baby I love you
And see the sky outside open up
And everything turn blue
Gotta, c’mon, have it
That’s the blues
What you gotta say?
I got the blues
What is it good for?
So bad, what is it good for?
All your hot gossip
Give me red white and blues
