I dig the black girls
Oh so much more than the white girls I was so pleased to learn they were faster C'est, c'est, c'est vous I'm after All comes a faggot white boy Said, "Look, look, look first kind of joy" They come around so queer and quiet As I rebel and riot Shall I dig the white boys? All so much more that the black boys I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say harder You know I love the Lord of Hosts The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost I was so pleased to learn that He's inside me In my time of trouble He will hide me I dig the black girls I dig the black girls I dig the black girls I dig the black girls |

I had me a wife, I had me some daughters
I tried so hard, I never knew still waters Nothing to eat and nothing to drink Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think Well, I'm a thinkin' and thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind I started making plans to kill my own kind I started making plans to kill my own kind "Come little daughter", I said to the youngest one Put your coat on, we'll have some fun We'll go out to mountains, the one to explore Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves A led her to a hole, a deep black well I said, "Make a wish, make sure and not tell and Close your eyes dear, and count to seven" You know your papa loves you, good children go to Heaven You know your papa loves you, good children go to Heaven I gave her a push, I gave her a shove I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love I through my child into a bottomless pit She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit Gather round boys to this tale that I tell You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell? It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart You wanna know what can really tear you apart? I'm going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain? I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame |

The profit is a fool, the spiritual man is mad
For the multitude of thine inequity and the great hatred (Hosea 9:7) Everyone's trying to decide Where to go when there's no place to hide I follow the bombs as they're coming down This must have been hallowed ground No matter what they decide to have done Burn up the clouds, block out the sun My hope is in one they can't bring down My soul is in hallowed ground I see the fear, it's on the rise Let's catch the enemy by surprise Bury your treasure where it can't be found Bury it deep in hallowed ground |

I hear the rain
I hear the rain I hear the rain Got to kill the pain I hear the rain I hear the rain I hear the rain Got to kill the pain Bury me out on a lone prairie Prairie water washin' over me Bury me out on a lone prairie A friend who calls a coyote Bury me out in the lone city Sewer water color of my tea Bury me out in the lone city Sewer water wash we all down to sea She use to sit and watch and wait Now I think I'll go and sit |

I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say yesterdays a day away. Nothing I can do to make it stay like that. Ain't that a fact. I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say I just can't handle things this way. I know it's late, but I'd like to stay a while, see you smile. Will you meet me in the morning, with sun fresh on the dew? Will you meet me in the afternoon, made just for me and you? Will you meet me in the evening, when the nighttime starts to crawl? Will you meet me in the hall? Will you meet me on the wall? Will you meet me at all? One more time, one more time. Shaking up and down my spine. Jump a rope or skip a line or two. What can I do? One more time, one more time. Color flashing neon signs. Advertising a friend of my distraction, latest attraction. Oh my body has been punished. Lord, I think I've had enough. Oh my body has been punished with too much and not enough. Oh my body has been punished and my mind can no longer bluff. My mind is so unkind, my mind is so unkind. It keeps me crying all the time. I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say yesterdays a day away. |

Yeah, I saw you coming down the street.
I could tell by your look that you didn't want to meet. So this time, I went away, but next time, I'm just gonna have to say, Can I buy you a dress or something? Could I buy you some drewery or something? Would you go out with me or something? Would you sleep with me or something? " Better watch out, if you're train is moving to fast. You better look out, if you're living in the past Because that's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues. That's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues. Yeah, I'm gonna corner you in an elevator And then you won't be able to put me off till later. I'll put on my charm and I'll tingle your spine. I'll take off my charm and then you'll wanna die. Could I buy you a dress or something? Could I buy you some drewery or something? Would you go out with me or something? Would you sleep with me or something? " You better watch out, cause you can't get rid of me. You better look out, now babe don't you see? That's why you'll never lose these sweet misery blues.

Add it Up
Day after day, I will walk, and I will play. But the day, after today, I will stop, and I will start. Why can't I get just one kiss? Why can't I get just one kiss? Believe me there's somethings I wouldn't miss, but I look at your pants and I need a kiss. Why can't I get just one screw? Why can't I get just one screw? Baby I know what to do, but something won't let me make love to you. Why can't I get just one fuck? Why can't I get just one fuck? Guess its' got something to do with luck, but I've waited my whole life for just one... Day after day I get angry and I will say that the day is in my sight, take a vow to say good night. Oh ma ma ma ma mo ma mum Have you kept an eye, and eye on your son. I know you've got problems, Your not the only one, when your sugar left he left you on run. Oh ma ma ma ma mo ma mum Take a look now at what your boy has done. He's walking around like he's number one. He went downtown and got him a gun. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. You know you've got my sympathy, but don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. You know you've got my sympathy. but don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Looking down kitchen at the top of stairs can I mix in with your affairs? Share a smoke, make a joke, grasp and reach for a leg of hope. Words to memorize, words hypnotize, words make my mother exercise. Words all fail the magic prize, nothing I can say when I am in your thighs. Oh mo ma ma ma ma mo ma mother I would love to love you lover. The city's restless, its ready to pounce. When I'm in your bedroom ounce for ounce. I fear for you decisions to make, things to lose things to take. Jessie's about ready to cut it up, she said wait a minute honey gonna add it up. |

I got a story
A sad sad story About a girl Who met a boy About her mother Whose vision saw her Daughter to marry Another boy (Nooo nooo nooo...) They made a plan To get away To run away And though it be hard To make that day Freely to live Without the mother They'd send a postcard (Nooo nooo nooo...) Out on the interstate That's where they made their mistake That's where they met their fate Out on the interstate They met a monster The monster of the interstate Who will not hesitate Who eats teenagers Like a shark eats little fishes Who eats bad kids disobeying parents wishes An interloper against the elopers A troll at the pay toll They stopped at the toll booth And reached for a quarter The monster filled the whole booth He gave them no quarter "Don't eat me" Chirped the girl Clutching to her purse "Don't eat me" Croaked the boy "Or eat her first I'll turn right around And take her back to her mother's We repent of being out of wedlock lovers" "You should have thought of that before" And a scaly horny hand Ripped the car lock door And the boy Tried to drive But oh boy He was eaten alive And the girl Tried to scream But she was swirled In the giant's vanilla ice cream And the boy was yummy And the girl was yummy As they slid down the throat To the monster's yellow tummy He said: "Hmm hmm good Didn't do like they should Hmm hmm good Didn't do like they should" The mother sold the Rights to the story It was so scary This gory story They made a movie A horror movie The mother made a million And the producers made a billion "And that other sweet boy That my daughter has shunned Now I'm his wife and he's my husband" The moral of this story Is clear for all to see And if clearly all can see Then it isn't clear to me |

I danced before I had two feet
I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet And sang before I had a tongue I laughed before I had two eyes Loved before my heart was young I swam before I had two hands And held the distance in my toes Before I heard the stars I knew The wild compulsion of the rose I bore the fruits of many lies Before I came into this day I knew before my grave was made Worms eat only death away The worms eat only death away And sang before I had a tongue I laughed before I had two eyes Loved before my heart was young I swam before I had two hands And held the distance in my toes Before I heard the stars I knew The wild compulsion of the rose I bore the fruits of many lies Before I came into this day I knew before my grave was made Worms eat only death away The worms eat only death away I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet |

Day after day, I will walk, and I will play. But the day, after today, I will stop, and I will start. Why can't I get just one kiss? Why can't I get just one kiss? Believe me there's somethings I wouldn't miss, but I look at your pants and I need a kiss. Why can't I get just one screw? Why can't I get just one screw? Baby I know what to do, but something won't let me make love to you. Why can't I get just one fuck? Why can't I get just one fuck? Guess its' got something to do with luck, but I've waited my whole life for just one... Day after day I get angry and I will say that the day is in my sight, take a vow to say good night. Oh ma ma ma ma mo ma mum Have you kept an eye, and eye on your son. I know you've got problems, Your not the only one, when your sugar left he left you on run. Oh ma ma ma ma mo ma mum Take a look now at what your boy has done. He's walking around like he's number one. He went downtown and got him a gun. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. You know you've got my sympathy, but don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. You know you've got my sympathy. but don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me. Looking down kitchen at the top of stairs can I mix in with your affairs? Share a smoke, make a joke, grasp and reach for a leg of hope. Words to memorize, words hypnotize, words make my mother exercise. Words all fail the magic prize, nothing I can say when I am in your thighs. Oh mo ma ma ma ma mo ma mother I would love to love you lover. The city's restless, its ready to pounce. When I'm in your bedroom ounce for ounce. I fear for you decisions to make, things to lose things to take. Jessie's about ready to cut it up, she said wait a minute honey gonna add it up. |

I'm gnawing on the knowledge
That I have been burnt And I'm learning things that I Should've already learnt Everyone I ever knew Was so kind and coy I was with a girl But it felt like I was with a boy I can't even remember If we were lovers Or if I just wanted to But I held her in my arms I held her in my arms I held her in my arms But it wasn't you I will not kill The one thing that I love In this world of wreckage I look above Help me Lord Help me understand What it means to be a boy What it means to be a man |

Well I'm reading this poem and it's so profound and I like its rhythm and I like its sound it's by a very famous poet no critic can criticise and then I pause a moment and I start to realize he's tellin' lies lies lies on the motel TV. I dig the evangelist he'll tell you all about that and then he tell you all about this he's preachin' up a storm by the sea of Galilee he's mixin' up the truth with something funny I start to see he's tellin' lies lies lies I never had this problem with nobody in the government I guess I always figured they never mean what they meant and GOD help us all not to be so stone surprised when we wake up in the stars with the skies in our eyes if we keep tellin' lies lies lies |
