The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the GIRL who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl
You want so much, it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl, girl
When I think of all the times
I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl, girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there
You feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl, girl, girl
Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah, girl, girl, girl
Ah, girl, girl

Once there was a young girl
Who was a good time fun girl
She went through her younger life a saint
Then at the time of sixteen
She got into a new thing
She dug the groups and the songs that they were singin'
Into her life there came a long hair
Who said that she was nowhere
Unless she showed his friends some of her favors
Groupie GIRL
You know you do your thing so fine
But groupie girl
You'll get old before your time
Like a joint she was passed round
By the groups that came into the town
And she no longer cared about her welfare
With her leather bags and muskin shoes
She acts as if she's nothing to loose
And she no longer combs her pretty blond hair
Oh, groupie girl
You know you do your thing so fine - yes you do
Groupie girl
You'll get old before your time

I once had a GIRL
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My GIRL, my GIRL, my GIRL
Talkin' 'bout my GIRL
My GIRL
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My GIRL, my GIRL, my GIRL
Talkin' 'bout my GIRL
My GIRL
Ohh ohh
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Oh yeah
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My GIRL, my GIRL, my GIRL
Talkin' 'bout my GIRL, my GIRL, talkin' 'bout my GIRL
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
I've even got the month of May with my GIRL
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I've been so lucky, I am the GIRL with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been around the world
I've seen a million GIRLs
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got
She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street
Wearing dresses so tight
And looking dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No doubt about it can't live without it
The GIRL's got rhythm (GIRL's got rhythm)
The GIRL's got rhythm (GIRL's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)
The GIRL's got rhythm
She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me
Love me till I'm legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the Third World War
You know I'm losin' sleep
I'm in too deep
Like a body needs blood
No doubt about it, can't live without it
The GIRL's got rhythm (GIRL's got rhythm)
The GIRL's got rhythm (GIRL's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)
The GIRL's got rhythm
You know she moves like sin
And when she lets me in
It's like liquid love

She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)

Girl you know it’s true - Milli Vanilli
So, what are you doing back?
Well, I sat back and thought about the things we used to do
It really meant a lot to me, you mean a lot to me
I really mean that much to you?
Girl, you know it's true
I'm in love with you, girl, 'cause you're on my mind
You're the one I think about most every time
And when you pack a smile in everything you do
Don't you understand, girl, this love is true?
To make you all mine, all mine is my desire
'Cause you contain a quality, you that I admire
To put it plain and simple
You rule my world
So try to understand
I'm in love, girl
I'm so in love, girl
I'm just in love, girl
And this is true
Girl, you know it's true
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you
Yes, you know it's true
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you
Girl, you know it's true
My love is for you
Girl, you know it's true
My love is for you
This is some sort of thing, girl, I can't explain
My emotion starts up when I hear your name
Maybe your sweet, sweet voice was ringing my ears
Stimulates my senses girl, when you are near
Now what you wear, I don't care, how you fussin' before
The reason that I like you, girl, is for what you are
If I said I'd think about it, you rule my world
So try to understand
I'm in love, girl
I'm so in love, girl
I'm just in love girl
And this is true
Girl, you know it's true
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you
Yes, you know it's true

Girl, you know it's true
My love is for you
Girl, you know it's true, girl
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you
Yes, you know it's true, girl
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you
This GIRL walked in dreams
Playing in a world of her own
This GIRL was a child
Existing in a playground of stone
Then one night her world was changed
Her life and dreams were rearranged
And she would never be the same again
This GIRL is a woman now
She's learned how to give
This GIRL is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning to live
This GIRL tasted love
As tender as the gentle dawn
She cried a single tear
A teardrop that was sweet and warm
Our hearts told us we were right
And on that sweet and velvet night
A child had died
A woman had been born
This GIRL is a woman now
She's learned how to give
This GIRL is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning to live
This GIRL is a woman now
She's learned how to give
This GIRL is a woman now
She's found out what it's all about
And she's learning, learning, learning to live
This GIRL is a woman now
She's learned how to give
This GIRL is a woman now

So long, I've been looking too hard
I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone
It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I want to be sure
I've been waiting for a GIRL like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a GIRL like you, your a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a GIRL like you to come into my life
You're so good
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah, I really love someone
Now, I know it's right
From the moment I wake up 'til deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly
I've been waiting for a GIRL like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a GIRL like you, your a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive

Thieves in the window
Trouble down the hall

Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem
She's just a girl...
Just...just a girl, yeah...
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her life
Decided in the woods
Burning fires
Feed her it, she believes
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter
You're just a girl
Just...just a girl

She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young

All the WORLD over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
There's peace in the valley, people got to be free
You should see
What a lovely, lovely WORLD this'd be
Everyone learned to live together, ah hah
Seems to me
Such an itty bitty thing should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another?
All the WORLD over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free)
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free
If there's a man
Who is down and needs a helpin' hand
All it takes is you to understand and
To pull him through, ah hah
Seems to me
We got to solve it individually, ah ah
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
Said, no
Hear the shoutin' from the mountains on out to the sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free (they gotta be free)
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
Natural situation for a man to be free
Get right on board now, huh, huh
Yeah oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody sing it now come on let's go see
Peace in the valley now, we all can be free
See that train over there?
Now that's the train of freedom
It's about to 'rrive any minute, now
You know it's been'a long, long overdue
Look out 'cause it's a'comin' right on through
Ha, ha, yeah, ha, ha, yeah

All over the WORLD
People must meet and part
There's someone like me
Feeling a pain in their heart
Some may meet again
Under that same bright star
If maybe some night
You come back from afar
Who cares if tonight
I don't know where you are
Are you thinking of me now
Missing having me around
If you have forgotten me
My world will come tumbling down
All over the world
Others are sad tonight
There's someone like me
Watching the sun's fading light
All over the sky
There is the same warm glow
Here under that star
I'm wanting you to know
Wherever you are
That I still love you so
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the WORLD?
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the WORLD?
It ended when I lost your love
I wake-up in the morning, and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the WORLD?
It ended when you said, "Good-bye"
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
(Why do these eyes of mine cry?)
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Don't they know it's the end of the WORLD?
It ended when you said, "Good-bye"

One by one the stars appear
The light of the day is no longer here
One by one the stars disappear
The sky grows brighter every minute of the sunrise
Wake the WORLD with a brand new morning
Say hello to another fine morning
Got my face in the running water
Making my life so much brighter
Moon shines bright, asleep in my bed
Like so many people got a big day ahead of me
Wake the world with a brand new morning
Say hello to another fine morning
Wouldn't miss it for all of its glory
I'll be there when you're calling me
One by one the stars appear
The light of the day is no longer here
What in the WORLD'S come over you?
Seems we never get along
(Ooh, ah, ah, ah)
Every night
I reminisce dreaming of your tender kisses
What in the WORLD'S come over you?
(Wah, wah, ooh)
Could you ever change your mind?
(Ah, ah, ah)
If you do, I'll still be here, dear
Waiting, longing for you
(Ah, ah, ah)
All my life, I've loved you so
Never dreamed, I'd miss you so
Now, alone in my room each night
My heart it cries, "It's just not right"
Oh, oh, oh
What in the world's come over you?
Could you ever change your mind?
(Ah, ah, ah)
If you do, I'll still be here, dear
Waiting, longing for you
(Ah, ah, ah)
All my life, I've loved you so
Never dreamed, I'd miss you so
Now, alone in my room each night
My heart, it cries, "It's just not right"
Oh, oh, oh
What in the WORLD'S come over you?
(Wah, wah, ooh)
You're still my angel from above
(Ah, ah, ah)
Guess, you'll always be my one
And only, only real love

Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a WORLD without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I'll know
So baby, until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I'll know
So baby, until then
Lock me away

With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love

Now you and I descended
On a world with innocent hopes
We traveled that criss-crossed highway
And cascaded down the slopes.
It's time to look at who we are
And let the feelings show
It's time to leave the past now
And grow.
I've listened to endless voices
I've proceeded with endless tact
I've figured in endless numbers
And I've worked on the traits I lacked.
I've come too far, the time is right
The devil's made his pact
It's time to stop pretending
And act.
I turn the WORLD around
Change the things that need changing
Don't try to predict tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow's out of sight.
Oh, turn the world around
Don't you limit your ranges
Don't try to predict tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow's out of sight.
I turn the world around
Change the things that need changing
Don't try to predict tomorrow
'Cause tomorrow's out of sight.
Oh, turn the world around

Don't try to predict tomorrow

Tomorrow's out of sight.

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the WORLD to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'd like to build the WORLD a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's a song I hear
Sing it along
Let the world sing today
Over and over
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
La, la, la, la
To, do, do, do, do, do

Make the WORLD go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the WORLD go away
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the WORLD took me astray?
If you do, then forgive me
And make the WORLD go away
Make the WORLD go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the WORLD go away
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the WORLD go away

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall
Nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know
I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world bring you down?
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help
I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world
Worked all the summer, and all the fall
Just tryin' to find my, little Lenore
But now she's gone, I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
Then you come here runnin'
Holdin' up your hand
Can get me a woman
Quick as you can get a man
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
It have been days
I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and prayer in vain?
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
Goin' to the station, down in the yard
Gon' get me a freight train
Worked some, got hard
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me and say goodbye?
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
Welcome to this world of fools
Of pink champagne and swimming pools
Where all you have to lose is your virginity
Perhaps you'll have some fun tonight
So stick around and take a bite of life
We don't need feebleness in this proximity
What!
Ask good MacDuff and Donalbain
So many good ideas are slain
By those who would dare not step out of line
But if I have my way tonight
And chances are I think I might
I'll turn those sour minds to grapes of wine
Grapes of wine
Welcome to this world
Don't judge the boy by what you hear
The words are heard beyond the ear
The heart and mind are focus for this conversation
But be abound in mystery for that so much you do to me
For there are those who drown in adulation
Adulation!
Welcome to this world
What!
Welcome to this world
If I had a dime for each time that I had heard them preach
Why, I'd have wicked thoughts upon my brain
Ha hah hah hah hah!
Oh, welcome to this world of fools
Of pink champagne and swimming pools
Where all you have to lose is your virginity
Perhaps you'll have some fun tonight
Stick around and take a bite of life
We don't need feebleness in this proximity
Welcome to this world
Welcome to this world
This world, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in its hands
This world, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in its hands
And when I think about this world
I can shape it just like clay
I can make myself a Garden of Eden
Or throw it all away
This world, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in its hands
This world, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in its hands
And when I spin this world around
I can turn night into day
I can make myself a sunny tomorrow
Or bring back yesterday
Yesterday, I can bring back yesterday
This world, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in its hands
This world, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in its hands

All around the world, we could make time
Rompin' and a stompin' 'cause I'm in my prime
Born in the north and sworn to entertain ya
'Cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania
I try not to whine, but I must warn ya
'Bout the motherf-cking girls from California
Alabama baby said hallelujah
Good God girl, I wish I knew ya
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say hello and then I say adieu
Come back baby 'cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world, back from Bombay
Fox hole love Pie in your face
Living in and out of a big fat suitcase
Bonafide ride step aside my Johnson
Yes, I could in the woods of Wisconsin
Wake up the cake, it's a lake she's kissin' me
As they do when they do in Sicily
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say hello and then I say adieu
Where you wanna go, who you wanna be
What you wanna do, just come with me

You and me girl sittin' in the Swiss mountains

Around the world I feel dutiful
Take a wife 'cause life is beautiful

Everybody screamed,
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed,
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush,
He looked like a fool
Nearly petrified
'Cause he was taken by surprise
When I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe his eyes,
When I kissed the teacher
My whole CLASS went wild
As I held my breath,
The world stood still,
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven,
When I kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care,
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance,
When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance,
When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me,
He was trying to explain
The laws of geometry
And I couldn't help it,
I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care,
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day,
When I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away,
When I kissed the teacher
My whole CLASS went wild
As I held my breath,
The world stood still,
But then he just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven,
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I wanna hug, hug, hug him)

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working CLASS hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white-bred world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high-CLASS toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white-bred world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Oh, oh, oh, oh

At home drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed the lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Try to forget this (try to forget this)
Try to erase this (try to erase this)
From the blackboard
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Jeremy spoke in CLASS today
Jeremy spoke in
Spoke in
Jeremy spoke in
Spoke in

Our father is a doctor, he's a family man
My mother works for charity whenever she can
And they're both good clean Americans who abide by the law
And they both stick up for liberty and they both support the war
My happiness was paid for when they laid their money down
For summers in a summer camp and winters in the town
Our future in the system was talked about and planned
But I gave it up for music and the free electric band
I went to school in hand-washed shirts with neatly ordered hair
And the school was big and newly built and filled with light and air
And the teachers taught us values that we had to learn to keep
And they'd clip the ear of any idle kid who went to sleep
And my father organized for me a college in the east
But I went to California, the sunshine and the beach
My parents and my lecturers could never understand
Why I gave it up for music and the free electric band
Well, they used to sit and speculate upon their son's career
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer
Just give me bread and water, put a guitar in my hand
'Cause all I need is music and the free electric band
My father sent me money and I spent it very fast
On a girl I met in Berkeley in a social science CLASS
Yes, and we learned about her body but her mind we didn't know
Until deep-rooted attitudes and morals began to show
She wanted to get married even though she never said
And I knew her well enough by now to see inside her head
She'd settle for suburbia and a little patch of land
So I gave her up for music and the free electric band
Ooh, the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band
Da, ba, da, ba, da, da, dee, dee with the free electric band

Things are going great, and they're only getting better

Ride, ride my see-saw,
Take this place
On this trip
Just for me.
Ride, take a free ride,
Take my place
Have my seat
It's for free.
I worked like a slave for years,
Sweat so hard just to end my fears.
Not to end my life a poor man,
But by now, I know I should have run.
Run, run my last race,
Take my place
Have this number
Of mine.
Run, run like a fire,
Don't you run in
In the lanes
Run for time.
Left school with a first CLASS pass,
Started work but as second class.
School taught one and one is two.
But right now, that answer just ain't true.
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah ah
My world is spinning around,
Everything is lost that I found.
People run, come ride with me,
Let's find another place that's free.
Ride, ride my see-saw,
Take this place

Ride, take a free ride,
Take my place

Which holds one race superior and another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Well, everywhere is war
Is your war
And until there’s no longer first-class and second-class citizen of any nation
Until the color of a mans skin is of no more significance
Than the color of his eyes
I’ve got to say ‘War’, yeah
And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Is your war, hey
But until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
And the rule of international morality, yeah
Will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Well, everywhere is war
Is your war
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south, yeah
Yes, you want a war
And the rumors of war
And, until the ignoble and unhappy regime
That holds our brothers in South Africa, yeah
South Africa, yeah
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, yeah
Utterly downstroyed
Well everywhere is
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south, yeah
Yes, you want a war
And the rumors of war
And until
And until
And ’til all these things have a meaning
’Til man learns
There’ll be always war, now
There’ll be always war
And the war in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
Some winning
Some losing
Some dying
Some crying
Some singing
We don’t need
No more troubles
We don’t need
No more troubles
No more troubles, no more troubles
No more troubles, eh
What we need is love
To guide and protect us on
If your hope looks down from above
Help the weak if you are strong
We don’t no trouble
What we need is love
We don’t need
No more troubles
No more troubles
No more troubles
No more troubles
No more troubles
We don’t need
We don’t need
No more troubles
No more war, no more war, no more war, I say
Speak happiness
Sad enough without your woes
Good morning, speak love
Sad enough without your foes, yeah
We don’t need no troubles
What we need is love

Be yourself
If you wanna know your name
Be your friends
And if you ever want to pay
All of this place
Is all about to fall
Right down on you
If you change what you say
And if you wanna hide yourself
Be the one
It's hard to know how far you go
All of this place
Is all about to fall
Right down on you
If you change what you say
And if you wanna hide yourself
Be the one
It's hard to know how far you go
All of this place
Is all about to fall
Right down on you
If you change what you say
And you know what you know
And you see what you bend
Can't believe it's insane
Come on and be what you mean
(Crank the music up)
Bring that shit in, uh
Yeah, the movement's in motion with massive militant poetry
Now check this out, uh
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us, teaches us to read and write
So-called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge and bow down to their god
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time, ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back
Bam, here's the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam, step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change and to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
The present curriculum, I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric, every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white, and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting to hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causing tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system who cares about only one culture
And that, is why we gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Ayo check, we're gonna have to break it
Break it, break it down, aw shit
And like this
Uh! Come on
Yeah, bring it back the other way
Uh
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit
And listen to that bullshit that he'd learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it, yet we hang from it
(Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin' Weathermen)
Expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Uh! Yeah
Take it back, y'all
Take it back, a-take it back, a-take it back, y'all
Come on, take it back, y'all
Take it back, a-take it back, a-take it back, y'all
Come on, uh! Yeah
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just who do you think I am?
You raise my taxes, freeze my wages
And send my son to Vietnam
You give me second-class houses
And second-class schools
Do you think that all colored folks
Are just second-class fools?
Mr. Backlash
I'm gon' leave you with the backlash blues
When I try to find a job
To earn a little cash
All you got to offer
Is your mean, old, white backlash
But the world is big
Big and bright and round
And it's full of folks like me
Who are black, yellow, beige, and brown
Mr. Backlash
I'm gon' leave you with the backlash blues
Mr. Backlash, Mr. Backlash
Just what do you think I got to lose?
I'm gon' leave you with the backlash blues
You're the one who'll have the blues, not me
Just wait and see
