I've been through all them changes, A lot of stuff came down. I've dealt with all the issues, You might say I've been around. But back when I got started, There was a righteous sound. It doesn't matter what I've been through, I'll still be diggin' on James Brown. Ya know the more things change, The more they stay the same. It may be a different age, But I'm on the same page. Cause one thing that I've found, I'll still be diggin' on James Brown. I had an attitude adjustment, I did some psycho therapy. I helped myself to some self-help, I dabbled in some ESP. Though my world is ever-changing, And I move from town to town, It doesn't matter where I've been to, I'll still be diggin' on James Brown. Ya know the more things change, The more they stay the same. It may be a different age, But I'm on the same page. Cause one thing that I've found, I'll still be diggin' on James Brown. You got your rap and your disco, You got your drum machine. You got your R-rated gangster, You got your grungy scene. You got your state of the art, You got your digital sound. It doesn't matter where it's going to I'll still be diggin' on James Brown. Take it to the bridge, It'll get ya where ya live. When there's water all around, You can still get outta town, And still be diggin' on James Brown. Ya know the more things change, The more they stay the same. It may be a different age, But I'm on the same page. Cause one thing that I've found, I'll still be diggin' on James Brown.
Don't ask me how, but guess who hit the big time Don't look now but guess whose back in town It's so easy don't even have to try Your the winner you can take the prize It's a dream come true which one will it be It's a dream come true we'll just wait and
It's been such a long time I think I should be goin' yeah And time doesn't wait for me it keeps on rollin' Sail on -- on a distant highway I've got to keep on chasin' a dream I've gotta be on my way Wish there was something I could say
Chorus: Well, I'm takin' my time I'm just movin' on You'll forget about me After I've been gone And I take what I find, I don't want no more It's just outside of your front door Yea, yea, yea, yea It's been such a long time It's been such a long time
Well I get so lonely when I am without you But in my mind, deep in my mind, I can't forget about you Good times and faces that remind me I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it All behind me You're comin' back to find me
Repeat Chorus
It's been such a long time I think I should be goin' yeah And time doesn't wait for me it keeps on rollin' There's a long road I've gotta stay in time with I've got to keep on chasin' that dream Though I may never find it I'm always just behind it

Et si...et si...Bessie Elle avait pas eu la peau noire Comme les étangs, comme les mares Où les lions là-bas vont boire.
Et si...et si...Bessie Elle avait vécu maintenant Avec sa belle voix du Soudan Et son feeling renversant
Mais si...mais si...Bessie Elle avait pas eu la peau noire Bessie blessée par un chauffard Elle s'rait pas morte sur un trottoir En perdant doucement tout son sang Devant un hôpital de blancs.
Et si...et si...Bessie Avait vécu parmi des gens Qui savent qu'on est tout differents Peut-êtr' qu'un soir, incidemment Toutes les deux on aurait pu faire Quelqu' chose comme un duo d'enfer.
Là-bas ou ici Mais pas Madison. Un club dans la nuit Un piano qui sonne.
Et si..et si..Bessie Elle avait pas eu la peau noire Comme l'ébène à côté d'l'ivoire Ou comme les belles robes de moire Elle s'rait pas que dans nos mémoires Mais avec nous ce soir
Là-bas ou ici Paris...Madison
Un club dans la nuit Un piano qui sonne
Et si...et si...Bessie Elle avait pas eu la peau noire Et si.
I've been a bad bad girl I've been careless with a delicate man And it's a sad sad world When a girl will break a boy Just because she can Don't you tell me to deny it I've donte wrong and I want to Suffer for my sins I've come to you 'cause I need Guidance to be true And I just don't know where I can begin What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Heaven help me for the way I am Save me from these evil deeds Before I get them done I know tomorrow brings the consequence At hand But I keep livin' this day like The next will never come Oh help me but don't tell me To deny it I've got to cleanse myself Of all these lies till I'm good Enough for him I've got a lot to lose and I'm Bettin' high So I'm beggin' you before it ends Just tell me where to begin
Indian legislation's on the desk of a do right congressman And he don't know much about the issues so he picks up the phone And asks the advice of the senator out in indian country A darling of the energy companies ripping off What's left of the reservation
I learned the safety rule I don't know who to thank Don't stand between the reservation And the corporate bank They're sending federal tanks It isn't nice but it's reality
Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Won't you cover me with pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee
We got these energy companies Who want to take the land And we got churches by the dozens Trying to guide our hands And turn our mother earth Over to pollution war and greed No no
Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Bury my heart at wounded knee Won't you cover me with pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee
We got the federal marshalls We got the covert spies We got the liars by fire And the fbi They lie in court and get nailed And still leonard peltier goes off to jail (the bullets don't match the gun)
Bury my heart at wounded knee An eighth of the reservation Bury my heart at wounded knee Was transferred in secret Bury my heart at wounded knee We got your murder and intimidation Bury my heart at wounded knee
My girlfriend anna may Talked about uranium Her head was full of bullets And her body dumped The fbi cut off her hands And told us she died of exposure
To bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Bury my heart at wounded knee Won't you cover me with your pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee Talk about a revolution They stole my land They won't steal my soul
We had the gold rush wars Why didn't we learn to crawl? And now our history gets written in a liar's scrawl They tell me "don't be so uptight I mean honey you can still be an indian Down at the y on saturday night
Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Bury my heart at wounded knee Won't you cover me with your pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee
Bury my heart It was an eighth of the reservation Bury my heart Yeah was transferred in secret Bury my heart Got your murder, murder, murder and intimidation Bury me Bury me Bury me Bury my heart Bury my heart Bury my heart Bury my heart
Shake your beads out, One by one And call me Magdalene It won’t grieve me I understand Where it is you’re coming from Draw a curtain Close your eyes When history’s pages fail you. I will not open up those history books That’s not for me to do.
Precious little in your life Is yours by right And won without a fight Precious little in your life Is yours by right And won without a fight.
Shadows call me, In the wind Some don’t go away Angels guide me From the clouds In everything I do and say Shake your beads out
Kneeling down It will not pass me by Two people coming from a different place Maybe neither one is right.
Repeat CHORUS
Shake your beads out Join your hands That still won’t make you right Those so-called sinners that you’re praying for Are standing by your side
When I speak out loud You say I'm crazy When I'm feeling proud You say I'm lazy I look around and see the true reality
You like our hair You love our music Our culture's large, so you abuse it Take time to understand, I'm an equal man
Chorus: History's a lie that they teach you in school A fraudulent view called the golden rule A peaceful land that was born civilized Was robbed of its riches, its freedom, its pride
When I'm at work you say I'm great You watch and ponder, but can you relate? Inviting eyes hands drop, when the music stops
Don't ask me why I play this music It's my culture, so naturally I use it I state my claim to say, it's here for all to play
Chorus
It's time for a change Concepts rearrange Can't you feel my rage...
It's up to you to seek the truth To know your history, the difference between me and you Relate to me as me, not what you see on TV
You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine It's four o'clock in the morning and it's starting to get light now I'm right where I want to be losing track of time but I wish that it was still last night
You look like you're in another world but I can read your mind how can you be so far away lying by my side when I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you every night and day just ...
Promise me you'll wait for me 'cos I'll be saving all my love for you and I will be home soon Promise me you'll wait for me I need to know you feel the same way too and I'll be home, I'll be home soon
When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you every night and day just ...
Promise me you'll wait for me 'cos I'll be saving all my love for you and I will be home soon Promise me you'll wait for me I need to know you feel the same way too and I'll be home, I'll be home
Promise me you'll wait for me 'cos I'll be saving all my love for you and I will be home soon Promise me you'll wait for me I need to know you feel the same way too and I'll be home, I'll be home soon
