Lyrics With Thanks From-https://www.azlyrics.com . Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police always come late If they come at all And when they arrive They say, "they can't interfere With domestic affairs, Between a man and his wife." And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul I prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said, "I'm here to keep the peace." Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep"
Lyrics With Thanks From-https://www.azlyrics.com . Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides Or run for your life Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of America They kill the dream of America Little black girl gets assaulted Ain't no reason why Newspaper prints the story And racist tempers fly Next day it starts a riot Knives and guns are drawn Two black boys get killed One white boy goes blind Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides Or run for your life Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of America They kill the dream of America Little black girl gets assaulted Don't no one know her name Lots of people hurt and angry She's the one to blame Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides Or run for your life Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of America
Lyrics With Thanks From-https://www.azlyrics.com . You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living See my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs So remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision
Lyrics With Thanks From-https://www.azlyrics.com . Don't you know They're talkin' 'bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper Don't you know They're talkin' about a revolution It sounds like a whisper While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know Talkin' 'bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper Poor people gonna rise up And get their share Poor people gonna rise up And take what's theirs Don't you know You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run Oh I said you better Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run 'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' bout a revolution Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no Talkin' bout a revolution, oh While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines
