Michael McDonald - Homeboy

Tekst :

He was born on the wrong side
Where hopelessness breeds
Where pride is hard to come by
And violence fills a need

Lord, what can the future be
Lookin from his point of view
cause here on these desperate streets
Better a short lived legend
Then a long life played for a fool

Homeboy wants to rule the hot town
And the innocent will fall
When the santa ana blows across the killin ground
It sweeps away what mercy
Is left to be found

A child on a corner
An instrument of greed
Seduced before knowing
The harsh reality

Lord, what will the answer be
Is there nothing we can do
To save him on these desperate streets
Better a long life of tryin
Than a short life playin to lose

    I just came to dance

    I saw the DJ smile at me
    But I aint living in a fantasy
    And the crowd pressing down on me
    The music s taking them to ecstasy

    And they want love, love
    love, love, love x2

    I need the music they need romance
    But I feel love every time I dance
    The drum beat pulsing
    through my veins
    And...

    Do what it do

    You know What I-I-Ima make it do what it do baby
    repeat

    now baby i just want to take yo freaken clothes off
    kiss yo body while i take yo freaken clothes off
    leave them heels on while i take yo clothes off
    leave...

    Rhythm machine

    I m a rhythm machine; you know what I mean,
    I m a rhythm machine; you know what I mean

    I got time, running through my
    head in bed,
    Instead of sleep, how it looks instead,
    I m a rhythm machine; you know what I mean,

    I m a music man; I play the blues whenever...

    Army style

    Detailed for a firing party
    An enemy of the states is going to be killed
    The firing squads are dressed to kill
    Duty first and they re well drilled
    Army style
    Army style
    Army style
    And they re dressed to kill
    Questions pound my head
    Why should we take part...

    Zodiac sign

    If there s a God,
    He s got a road
    Leading to his house.

    The animals walk alone,
    The sign of the Zodiac.
    I am always scared of being alone.

    Sex is my drug and lifts my soul.
    Got no loves,...
