Thank You

Now i dialed nine one one a long time ago
Don't you see how late they're reactin'
They only come, and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue truck 'em back the goner
They don't care 'cause they stay paid anyway
They treat you like an ace that can't be betrayed
I know you stumble with no use people
If your life is on the line, then you're dead today

Late comings with the late comin' stretcher -
That's a body bag in disguise - y'all i'll betcha
I call 'em body snatchers
Quick they come to fetch you -
With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya

They are the kings 'cos they swing amputation
Lose your arms your legs the famous compilation
I can prove it to you watch the rotation
It all adds up to a funky situation

Get up, get get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up, get get down
Late 911 wears the late crown

(chorus)

(ow)
911 is a joke , 911 is a joke

Everyday they don't never come correct
You can ask my man right here with the broken neck
He's a witness to the job never bein' done
He would've been in full effect , 911
Is a joke because their always jokin'
They the token to your life when it's croakin'
They need to be in a pawn shop on a 911 -
Is a joke we don't want 'em

I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker
The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker
The reason that i say that 'cause they
Flick you off like fleas
They be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on our knees
And to the strength, so go the length
Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth
You better wake up and smell the real flavor
Cause 911 is a fake life saver

(chorus) (chorus)

Ow, ow 911 is a joke
911 is a joke,
911 is a joke,
911 is a joke, 911 is a joke.
(get up, get get down)
911 is a joke, 911 is a joke, 911 is a joke
(get up, get get down)
911 is a joke, 911 is a joke, 911 is a joke
(get up, get get down)

Ooooh, yeahh

Nice girls not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs
She looks so good that he gets down and begs

She is watching the detectives, oh he's so cute
She is watching the detectives
When they shoot shoot shoot shoot.
They beat him up until the teardrops start.
But he can't be wounded cos he's got no heart


Long shot of that jumping sign
Visible shivers running down my spine
Cut the baby taking off her clothes
Close-up of the sign that says "we never close"
You snatch a tune, you match a cigarrette.
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this i can take
She filing her finger nails while they're dragging the lake

(chorus)

Now you think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Now fear is here to stay love is here for a visit.
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit.
Someone's scratching at the window. i wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away

Just like watching the detectives. don't get cute
It's just like watching the detectives.
I get so angry when the tear-drops start
But he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart.


Watching the detectives.
It's just like watching the detectives.
Watching the detectives.
Watching the detectives.

Just a perfect day..
Drink sangria in the park
And later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day..
Feed animals in the zoo
And later, a movie too
And then home

It's such a perfect day
I'm glad i spent it with you
Such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on..
You just keep me hanging on..

Just a perfect day..
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
Such fun

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought i was someone else
Someone new

(chorus)
-

You're gonna reap, just what you sow.
You're gonna reap, just what you sow.
You're gonna reap, just what you sow.
You're gonna reap, just what you sow.
You're gonna reap, just what you sow.
You're gonna reap, just what you sow.

(the doors)

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too, insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again

So tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why -
You'd rather cry,
I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time -
When we get back, i'll drop a line

Freeze! rock!
(rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang)
Freeze! rock!
(rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang)
Freeze! rock!
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang
Freeze! rock!
Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang

Aaaah... aaaah... aaaah... aaaahh
White! ooh-white!
White! ooh-white!
White! ooh-white!
White! ooh-white!

(white lines) vision dreams of passion
(going through my mind) and all the while i think of you
(pipeline) a very strange reaction
(yours to unwind) the more i see, the more i do
Something of a phenomenon, telling your body to come along
Cause white lines - blow away..

Blow! rock! blow!

Ticket to ride a white-line highway,
Tell all your friends they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul,
Pound for pound it costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay,
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or to your vein -
With nothing to gain except killing your brain.

Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)
Rock (say freeze, come on!)
Freeze! (say rock, come on y'all)
Rock (say freeze, come on!)
Freeze! (say rock, come on)
Rock (say freeze, come on!)
Freeze! (say rock, come on)
Rock (put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up!)

Aaaaah... higher baby, aaaaah... get higher baby,
Aaaaahh... get higher baby, aaaahhh!
And don't ever come down... free base!

Pipeline (pure as the driven snow) connected to my mind
(and now i'm having fun, baby!)
Highrise (it's getting kind of low) 'cause it makes you feel so nice.
(i need some one on one, baby!)
Tell me it'll blow your mind away, (baby)
Going to your little hideaway
'cause white lines (what do white lines do?)
Blow away..

Blow! rock! blow!

A million magic crystals painted pure and white,
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked baby, it's nobody else's fault -
So don't do it!


(chorus)

-

(don't you get too high) don't you get too high, baby
(it turns you on) you really turn me on and on
(can't you ever come down) my temperature is rising,
('til the thrill is gone) no! i don't want you to go.

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time,
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime.
A businessman is caught with twenty four kilos,
He's out on bail, and out of jail, and that's the way it goes!

(rock!)
Cane! sugar! (suger)
Cane! (cane) sugar! (suger)
Cane!

Athletes reject it, governor's correct it
Gangsters, punks, and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided, the women get excited
Now i'm broke and it's no joke,
It's hard as hell to fight it - don't buy it!

(chorus) (chorus)

(whitfield,strong)

People moving out,
People moving in,
Why?
Because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, i'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on.

Well the only person talking about love thy brother is a preacher
See, no body is interested in learning but the teacher

Segregation! domination! demonstration!
Integration! aggrivation! humiliation!
Obligation to the nation!

Ball of confusion, (ball of confusion!)
That's what your world is today
Ball of confusion, (ball of confusion!)
That's what your world is today-ay-ay


The singing is like an all time high
City's aflame in the summer time, and ohh,
The beat goes on....

Evolution! revolution! evolution!....
Gun control, the sound of soul
Politicians, can you fucking believe them?

And the band played on
And the band played on

Round and around and around we go
Where ever we're standing nobody knows

Take a look around -
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Just a...

(chorus)

See it in the air
Tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast
Killers gangs watch your ass

Gun control, the sound of soul
Segregation! domination! demonstration
Integration! aggrivation! humiliation!
Obligation to the nation

(chorus) (chorus)

That's what your world is today
Ball of confusion,
Ball of confusion...
That's what your world is today..
