Lyrics

We are the Feminists

We are we are we are we are we are the feminists!
That doesn’t mean that we hate men, why don’t you get the gist?
It does however mean that we won’t tolerate your pass.
Don’t tell us that we want you, or pat us on the –
Ask us what we think, do not assume that you will know.
And if you think we can’t succeed, just watch, see where we go!
We’re doctors and we’re senators, we’re getting PhDs,
We’re running our own businesses and raising families.
We are we are we are we are we are the feminists!
We’re finding our own power and we’re fighting prejudice.
Some still want all women pregnant, maybe even barefoot, too.
But we’ll make our own decisions now,
We’re wearing real nice shoes!

 

Black or White

I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we’re one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight
But, if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them I ain’t second to none
And I told ‘em bout equality
An it’s true either you’re wrong or you’re right
But, if you’re thinkin’ bout my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So when the going gets rough
I ain’t scared of your brother
I ain’t scared of no sheets
I ain’t scare of nobody
Girl when the going gets mean

Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It’s a turf war on a global scale
I’d rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it’s not about races
Just places, faces
Where your blood comes from
Is where your space is
I’ve seen the bright get duller
I’m not going to spend my life being a color

Don’t tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But, if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I said if you’re thinkin’ of being my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I said if you’re thinkin’ of being my brother
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now

It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
To get by
It’s black, it’s white, whoo
[2x]

 

 

Civilians

they are just civilians
we are barely civil to them
and only at times.
it's gonna take a million
bodies piled and killed to
show them we can fight.

they are just civilians
we are barely civil to them
and only at times.
and we are your citizens
burrowing beneath your skin
and crawling up your spine.

they are just civilians
fighting for their place in
the company of men.
sshhh! we're holding still
waiting for the thrill of
surprising you again.

so you watch yourself
and you guard yourself
you are not yourself
you are not yet safe
watch yourself
and you guard yourself
you are not yourself
you are not yet safe

boys i can fight!
please let me fight

treaties of civilians.
we will fire at will and
from behind the lines.
you who once were children
stand and stare where buildings
became crimes.

 

Eve's Mouth

Eve's mouth hurts from trying not to laugh
at some joke some scholar made
about her being someone's half.
It was a joke, a lie, exaggeration, a fib.
And now you all believe I came from his rib.

She screams at the top of her lungs:
"I'm whole! I'm body, I'm heart, I'm mind, I'm soul."

Well, Queen Victoria gave her daughter some advice
as her daughter shook and trembled on her wedding night.
Queen Victoria, she said to her daughter:
"Baby, lie still and think of the Empire!"
And her husband, though kind and mild,
never stopped to wonder why she never smiled.

Little Red Riding Hood was walking down the trail,
she was carrying the goodies,
thought "They'll go stale".
So, she ate ‘em all up and that was that.
Then, she threw them all up, fear of getting fat.
Cause even Red Riding Hood reads magazines,
the ones prescribing diets for pre-teens.

Now, we've got Cinderella, she's chilling at home
quite content with being alone.
She is playing with the mice and singing with the birds
and they're the only ones who ever heard these words.
She said "I'll get in the damn pumpkin. Do it all right,
weep and lose my slipper, freak out at midnight.
But there's one thing that the prince might not like,
it's the Fairygod I'm after.
I'm a dyke."

She screams at the top of her lungs "I'm whole,
I'm body, I'm heart, I'm mind, I'm soul"
She screams at the top of her lungs "I'm whole,
I'm body, I'm heart, I'm mind, I'm soul."

So we've got Snow White, she's a homemaker of sorts
cause she cleans and she cooks and she takes care of dwarves.
One day, I said "Snow White, go back to school".
She said "No, I can't, I'd feel like a fool.
You know, it's hard for us womyn to try to be ourselves,
we spend our whole damn lives taking care of little elves.

Now we've got Rapunzel, she's chilling in the tower,
waiting for the handsome prince she's sapped of all her power.
Finally, one day, the handsome prince in town
called up to Rapunzel, "Yo girl, let it down!"
But our dear Rapunzel was nowhere to be seen,
yes our dear Rapunzel had learned something keen.
"All that time alone kinda taught me how to cope,
so I shaved my head and I made me a rope!"

Now, Helen of Troy, they say, launched a thousand ships
with the short of her skirt and the shape of her lips.
And when that old bard lay the blame at her face
for the rape of a nation-
Wrong time. Wrong place.
Helen simply whispered, "History's our test.
Look between the lines, girls, read beneath the text."

She screams at the top of her lungs, "I'm whole,
I'm body, I'm heart, I'm mind, I'm soul"
She screams at the top of her lungs, "I'm whole,
I'm body, I'm heart, I'm mind, I'm soul"
She screams.

 

 

Execution of All Things

Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet.
I’m feeling badly, it’s not an attempt at decency.
And if you’re well off, well then I’m happy some for you.
But I’d rather not celebrate my defeat and humiliation here with you.

Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out.
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out.
Bring with you history, and make your hard earned feast.
Then we’ll go to Omaha to work and exploit the booming music scene and humility.

And we’ve been talking all night...

Oh god come quickly, the execution of all things.
Let’s start with the bears and the air and mountains, rivers, and streams.
Then we’ll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids.
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease ‘cause of what you did.

And lastly, you’re all alone with nothing left but sleep.
But sleep never comes to you, it’s just the guilt and forever wakefulness of the weak.
It’s just you and me...

The execution of all things.
The execution of all things.
The execution of all things.

 

First Date

Oooh, I hate to get up in the morning
Stale and always alone
Oooh never go out for the sake of a good time
Stay at home and alone and at home (and alone and at home and alone and at home and alone)

Well I (I) guess I (I) shaved my legs for nothing
I never (never) shoulda (never) cleaned the tub or the sink (never)
Well you (you) said (said) goodbye to me downstairs
You didn’t even want that one last drink

Oooh how I hate to get up in the morning
Stale and always alone
Oooh never go out for the sake of a good time
Stay (stay) at home and alone (and at home and alone, and at home and alone, and at--)

Well you (you) said (said) my make-up (ah--) was near perfect (ha!)
And you (you) said (said) my hair truly looked great (mmm but--)
But you (you) said (said) goodbye to me downstairs
You didn’t even want to lengthen our date

Oooh how I hate to get up in the morning
Stale and always alone
Oooh never go out for the sake of a good time
Stay (stay)
I wish I may (I wish I might)
I wish I may (I wish I might)
Hear someone say (say)
Good morning, not good night (stay)

 

If You Were Gay

[ROD]: Aah, an afternoon alone with my favorite book, "Feminist Authors of the Twentieth Century." No roommate to bother me. How could it get any better than this?

[NICKY]: Oh,hi Rod!

ROD: Hi Nicky.

NICKY: Hey Rod, you'll never guess what happened to me on the PVTA this morning. This girl was smiling at me and talking to me

ROD: That's very interesting.

NICKY: She was being real friendly, And I think she was coming on to me. I think she might've thought I was gay!

ROD: Ahem, so, uh, why are you telling me this? Why should I care? I don't care. What did you have for lunch today?

NICKY: Oh, you don't have to get all defensive about it, Rod...

ROD: I'm NOT getting defensive! What do I care about some gay girl you met, okay? I'm trying to read.

NICKY: Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Rod. I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.

ROD: I don't want to talk about it, Nicky! This conversation is over!!!

NICKY: Yeah, but...

ROD: OVER!!!

NICKY:
Well, okay, but just so you know —
If you were gay
That'd be okay.
I mean 'cause, hey,
I'd like you anyway.
Because you see,
If it were me,
I would feel free to say that I was gay!
But I'm not gay.

ROD: Nicky, please!  I am trying to read.... What?!

NICKY: If you were queer

ROD: Ah, Nicky!

NICKY: I’d still be here

ROD: Nicky, I'm trying to read this book.

NICKY: Year after year

ROD:  Nicky!

NICKY: Because you’re dear to me

ROD: Argh!

NICKY: And I know that you

ROD: What?

NICKY:  Would accept me too

ROD: I would?

NICKY: 
If I told you today,
“Hey!  Guess what, I’m gay!” 
But I’m not gay. 
I’m happy just being with you

ROD:  Alix Olson, Eve Ensler

NICKY: 
So what should it matter to me
What you do in bed with girls?

ROD: Nicky, that's GROSS!

NICKY:  No it's not!
If you were gay
I’d shout horray!

ROD: I am not listening!

NICKY:  And here I’d stay

ROD: La la la la la!

NICKY:  But I wouldn’t get in your way.

ROD: Aaaah!

NICKY: 
You can count on me
To always be
Beside you every day
To tell you it’s okay
You were just born that way
And as they say, it’s in your DNA,
You’re gay!

ROD: I am not gay!

NICKY: If you were gay.

ROD: Argh!

 

Independence Day

I know I make mistakes, I will have to live and learn
Sometimes you play with fire and sometimes you get burned
I have my dream to live, following that star
It doesn't matter how long it takes, it doesn't matter how far


No time for make believing, and it's too late to turn back now
Yeah yeah yeah!

I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my Independence Day
My Independence Day

I know it'll take some time, but I won't give up the fight
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but that's alright, oh yeah
I've got to spread my wings and learn how to fly
'Cause this feeling drives me on, it's something I cannot deny

No time to make excuses, 'cause it's too late to turn back now
Yeah yeah yeah!

I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my Independence Day
My Independence Day

Heyyyeyyy, my Independence Day

Ohh uhh

No matter what comes my way, I'm gonna live for today
This is my, this is my Independence Day

Independence Day

I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my Independence
I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my Independence Day
My Independence Day

Independence Day

Daaayyyaaaay, my Independence Day

Independence Day

Wishing on that same bright star, I shouldn't wish my life away
Wish my life away
They say it's a small small world
They say it's a small small small small world

Independence Day
Independence Day

 

Kiss the Girl

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don’t got a lot to say
But there’s something about her
And you don’t know why
But you’re dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It’s possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don’t take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain’t gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain’t that sad
Ain’t it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl

Now’s your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don’t say a word
And she won’t say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t stop now
Don’t try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl

You’ve got to kiss the girl
Why don’t you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

 

A Murder of One

Blue morning blue morning wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, kitten,
Doesnt have to mean youre on your own
You can look outside your window
He doesnt have to know
We can talk awhile, baby
We can take it nice and slow
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
Are you happy when youre sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when youre sorry?
Does he tell you when youre wrong?
Ive been watching you for hours
Its been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
Ive been wondering where weve gone
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there
Counting crows
One for sorrow two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
Theres a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish youd let me in
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You dont want to waste your life
I walk along these hillsides in the summer neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
Change, change, change

 

Prayer of the Children

Can you hear the prayer of the children on bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?
Empty eyes with no more tears to cry, turning heavenward toward the light.
Crying, “Who will help me to see the morning light of one more day?
But if I should die before I wake, I pray my soul to take?”
Can you feel the hearts of the children aching for home, for something of their very own?
Reaching hands with nothing to hold on to, but hope for a better day.
Crying, “Who will help me to feel the love again in my own land?
But if unknown roads lead away from home, give me loving arms, away from harm.”
Can you hear the voice of the children softly pleading for silence in their shattered world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate, blood of the innocent on their hands.
Crying, “Who will help me to feel the sun again upon my face.
For when darkness clears I know you're near, bringing peace again.”
Dali cuje te sve djecje molitve?
Can you hear the prayer of the children?

 

Sweaters

This worn out sweater is slightly torn
Like the mouth of that old woman waiting for that phone
And I hear a little laughter from my own
Cause I see so many sweaters that refuse to be sewn

Well I finally threw my valentine away
It was crumpled and faded
And as I kept it I had always thought the world would be that way
Until I opened up the drawer and it had changed

And it called to mind how I'd always felt like I'm
Just living in this life for a while
And how you get so far beneath yourself
It's hard to see the journey with a smile

But I believe I can change the world
Just give me time
I believe I can change the world
Just give me time
I believe... I believe I can change the world
I believe I can change the world
Just give me time
Just give me time

Well I tried to start that journal once or twice
But I always end up writing notes on day-to-day life
And like all of us I'm just trying to hang on
In the middle of the carousel it's much more calm

And it called to mind how I'd always felt like I'm
The last one to hear of things
I'm in the back of the room watching all of you
I go unnoticed but I notice everything

But I believe I can change the world
Just give me time
I believe I can change the world
Just give me time
I believe... I believe I can change the world
I believe I can change the world
Just give me time
Just give me time
Just give me time
Just give me time

 

There's Hope

Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
A little was overrated,
But a lot was a little too complicated
You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
A million didn't make me happy
That's when I learned a lesson
That it's all about your perception
Hey- are you a pauper or a superstar
So you act, so you feel, so you are
It ain't about the size of your car
It's about the size of the faith in your heart

There's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that

There's hope

Off in the back country of Brazil
I met a young brother that made me feel
That I could accomplish anything.
You see just like me he wanted to sing
He had no windows and no doors
He lived a simple life and was extremely poor
On top of all of that he had no eye sight,
But that didn't keep him from seein' the light
He said, what's it like in the USA?
And all I did was complain
He said- livin' here is paradise
He taught me paradise is in your mind
You know that

There's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that

Every time I turn on the T.V.
Somebody's acting crazy
If you let it, it will drive you crazy
But I'm takin' back my power today
Gas prices they just keep on rising
The government they keep on lying
But we gotta keep on surviving
Keep living our truth and do the best we can do

'Cause there's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that
[2x]

Stand up for your rights
Keep shining your light
And show the world your smile

There's hope
It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that

There's hope

 

 

Two Beds and a Coffee Machine

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Checks that he is sleeping
Picks up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming, now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it


When it Don't Come Easy

Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the water’s getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy

I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy

So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
It’s only love we were looking for

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy, when it don’t come easy

 

 

Where is the Love

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world’s addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we tryin’ to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate
Yeah, madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurtin’ you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love, the love, the love
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain't the same, all ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
With this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
The war’s goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurtin’ you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love, the love, the love
Where is the love, the love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity?
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality?
Instead in spreading love, we’re spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love, where is the love
Father, Father, Father help us,
Send some guidance from above,
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love, the love, the love
Where is the love, the love, the love

 

 

World on Fire

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in

The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
Try and bring my share
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what’s coming
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
I don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
Try and bring my share
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of saving souls,
Still the cold is closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some

The world is on fire
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
Try and bring my share
Try to bring more,
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

You Gotta Be

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together,
All I know, all I know is love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my, hey hey

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together,
All I know, all I know is love will save the day

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face, oh oh

Remember, listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my, hey, hey

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together,
All I know, all I know is love will save the day, yeah

Got to be bold, got to be bad
Got to be wise, not ever sad
Got to be hard but not too, too hard,
All I know is love with save the day, yeah

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know is love will save the day
All I know, all I know is love will save the day

 

 

Young James Dean

In the back of a camouflage truck
They locked me in once with the materiel
I was full of a rage no one could handle
I was a private in the army
All the real girls with their backs turned called me crazy
Called me crazy

I worked for a while at a diner
Manager said I had to wear that little uniform
Said I was part of the problem
But I was in love with that blonde girl
She kissed me twice behind the counter
But when I asked her to get into my car
She called her man, said 'don't bother her'
She called her man, said 'don't bother her'

I guess I'll feel less than real all my life
With these feathers I made
Under me lifting me up
But I was a young James Dean
With a way with ladies
All the real boys in their black jeans called me crazy
Called me crazy
Called me crazy
Called me crazy
