 Words

 

Around town the sound found on the street has a funky beat

Rappers and girl slappers struggle for victory or defeat

Politicians pontificate policies perpetuating pure hate

Their truth is lies in disguise how passionately they debate

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

 

Bums out in the cold surviving from dumpster diving

A chicken in every pot they forgot who they’re jiving

Rich men never go to jail if they fail they pay a fine

See the priest feast he got some line about being divine

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

 

Put letters together and move your tongue

In fuse the blues a song is sung

Rock and roll refugees with long hair

In the land of the free they don’t care

Debt slaves till we enter our graves

In the end my friend only Jesus saves

 

Propaganda penetrates a panoply of pretense

Killing and war is evil it’s a matter of common sense

The Vodka is strong you belong if you drink it straight

Don’t wait articulate what you think try to relate

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

Electric Jive

Electric Jive

 

I was lost in the blue on LaRue Avenue                                

Every face every place reminded me of you                         

You’re a demon who ascended to heaven’s gate                  

I know a lot of bad words and the worst of them is wait      

 

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

 

Big Tiny was hustling numbers hoping to score                   

You know you’re a gambler if you always want more          

I bet my heart and soul it was all that I had                                      

Even in sin when you win it’s natural to be glad                  

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

 

Well the cards were marked and they delt from down below           

There was going to be a fight from the get go                                   

A year’s wages of chips sitting on the table                                      

A smokey room a gambler’s doom straight out of a fable                

 

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

           

My love hearts fall to diamonds cause money’s supreme                 

The ultimate score’s the wicked whore of my dream                       

When things become rough you need more than words to bluff      

I was hoping that my sweet six shooter would be enough                

 

Somewhere there’s a dead man with a bullet in his brain

Somewhere there’ s a conman with a story to explain

I’m a wanted man the scourge of the underground                           

And baby that’s the real reason I’m nowhere to be found                

 

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life
