1. NO ONE'S LEAVING

I'm a white dread-I'm a white dread, so?
I'm a got a ring and I hang it from my nose.
Got a little game and I take it to the park.
I don't care who plays
As long as the game is on.

My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park.
She had to leave home 'cause he was dark.
Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy. . .
He's gorgeous!
Ain't nobody leaving!

No one's leaving. . .

Blacks call each other brother and sis'
Count me in 'cause I been missed.
I've seen color changed by a kiss.
Ask my brother
And my sister.

My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park.
She had to leave home 'cause he was dark.
Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy. . .
He's gorgeous!
Ain't nobody leaving!

No one's leaving!

Yeah, that's right. . .
Yeah, that's so. . .

Wish I knew everyone's nickname,
all their slang and all their sayings.
Every way to show affection,
How to dress to fit the occasion. . .

Wish we all waved. . .
All waved. . .
All waved. . .
I wish we all!
Wish we all!
Wish we all waved. . .


3. THREE DAYS

Three days was the morning. My focus three days old. My Head, it
Landed to the sounds of cricket bows. . . I am proud man Anyway. . . Covered now
By three days. . .
Three ways was the morning. Three lovers, in three ways. We knew when
She landed, three days she'd stay. I am a proud man Anyway. . . Covered now by
Three days. . .
We saw shadows of the morning light the shadows of the Evening sun till
The shadows and the light were one. Shadows of the morning Light the shadows
Of the evening sun till the shadows and the light were One. . .
True hunting is over. No herds to follow. Without game, Men prey on
Each other. The family weakens by the bite we swallow. . .
True leaders gone, of land and people. We choose no kin But adopted
Strangers. The family weakens by the length we travel. . . All of us with
Wings. . . All of us with wings. . . All of us with wings! All Of us with wings!
All of us with wings! All of us with wings!
Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys. Loves his Marys. Bits of Puzzle,
Hitting each other. All now with wings! "Oh my Marys! Never wonder. . . Night
Is shelter for nudity's shiver. . . " All now with wings. . .


4. BEEN CAUGHT STEALING

I've been caught stealing;
Once when I was 5. . .
I enjoy stealing.
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact.
When I want something, I don't want to pay for it.
I walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!
My girl, she's one too.
She'll go and get her a shirt.
Stick it under her skirt.
She grabbed a razor for me.
And she did it just like that.
When she wants something,
She don't want to pay for it.
She walk right through the door.
Hey all
Right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!
We sat around the pile.
We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.
When we want something, we don't want to pay for it.
We walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey, all right!
If I get by, it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, Mine. . .


5. HAD A DAD

Had a dad
Big and strong
Turned around
Found my daddy gone
He was the one
Made me what i am today
It's up to me now
My daddy has gone away. . .
Well i spoke to the mountain
I listened to the sea
Both told me that the fountain
Was the best that you could be
My daddy's hand it growed
Slow to the lickin
Sonny boy
Grow to whip him!
If you see my dad
Tell him my brothers
All gone mad
They're beating on each other
I walked around
Even tried to call
Got that funny feeling
He's not there
At all. . .


6. TRIP AWAY

Mama, lick on me now
No care
Put me on the bad side
Oh, so bad
I wanna make you love
Wanna, wanna watch your eyes
Dip them in a honey glaze
Mirror mine
Roll them high
Wanna make them

Drip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Way out
Way out

Oh, mama lick on me
I'm as tasty as a red plumb
Baby thumb
Wanna make you love
Wanna be wild animals
Lay down in a shady den
See the spring
Color in
Watch the stoney winter

Drip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Way out
Way out

Take my eye
Do not wonder why
I've come to the crux
I've looked it up and down
Seen the trespassers trample themselves
As the miser makes love with his wealth
Convenience his lure!

Tripped away the summer days
Some are gone
Some are O. K.
Summers gone
Some are makin love
I love to watch you
Love to watch you

Drip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away
Trip away

Trip away
Way out
Way out


7. OF COURSE

Of course this land is dangerous!
All of the animals
Are capably murderous.

When I was a boy,
My big brother held on to my hands,
Then he made me slap my own face.
I looked up to him then, and still do.
He was trying to teach me something.
Now I know what it was!
Now I know what he meant!
Now I know how it is!

One must eat the other
Who runs free before him.
Put them right into his mouth
While fantasizing the beauty of his movements.
A sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face. . .
Slapping yourself in the face. . .
Slapping yourself in the face. . .


8. CLASSIC GIRL

In my neighborhood,
When shots go off,
No one bothers.
A POP, and a reply POP, and no reply. . .

Dinosaurs on the quilt I wore
With a girl.
Such a classic girl. . .
Such a classic girl. . .
Such a classic girl,

Gives her man great ideas.
Hears you tell your friends,
Hey man, listen to my great idea!
It's true I am a villain
When you fall ill,
that's probably because

Men never can be.
Not like a girl.
A classic girl. . .
Such a classic girl. . .

They may say, Those were the days. . . ,
But in a way,
You know for us these are the days.
Yes, for us these are the days,

And you know you're my girl!
Such a classic girl. . .
Such a classic girl. . .

Yeah for us these are the days. . .


9. MY TIME

Yeah the rain came
I said hey buddy,
Buddy the streets are a snake skin
I belong
Out there walkin'
Nobody's stoppin' to bother me
They hide
Outside, the ceilings
Cryin -
Listen to the sound
Of the gutters runnin'
Wash this dirty town
All fronts and no backs
Give me my time
Let me be
Outside
Under the ceiling
Cryin'
Yeah, all over me
Cryin'
Yeah, all over me

Outside you know
I listen to the sounds
Of the gutters runnin
Wash this dirty town
All fronts and no backs
Give me my time
Let me be
Outside
Under the ceilings
Cryin'
Yeah, all over me
Cryin'
Yeah, all over me

11. TED,JUST ADMIT IT

Camera got them images
Camera got them all
Nothing's shocking. . .
Showed me everybody
Naked and disfigured
Nothing's shocking. . .
And then he came
Now sister's
Not a virgin anymore
Her sex is violent. . .

The t. v. 's got them images
T. v. 's got them all
It's not shocking!
Every half an hour
Someone's captured and
The cop moves them along. . .
It's just like the show before
The news is
Just another show
With sex and violence. . .

Sex is violent. . .
Sex is violent. . .
Sex is violent. . .
Sex is violent. . .
Sex is violent. . .
Sex is violent. . .
Sex is violent!

I am the killer of people
You look like a meatball
I'll throw away your toothpick
And ask for your giveness

Because of this thing!
Because of this thing!
Because of this thing!

That's in me
Is it not in you?
Is it not your problem?

A baby to a mother. .

You talk too much
To your scapegoat

That's what i say
He tells you everyone is stupid
That's what he thinks!

Snapshots
Make a girl look cheap
Like a tongue extended
A baby's to a mother

Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
Sex is violent!
