    Letra

    You know I smoked a lot of grass,Oh Lord And I popped a lot of pills But I never did touch nothing That my spirit couldn't kill You know I see a lot of people walkin' round Here with tombstones in their eyes 'Cause the pusher don't care Child if you live or if you die God damn on the pusher, yea yea I said God damn him God damn him, pusher man You know the dealer I said the dealer is a man With lots of love racks in his hand But the pusher is a monster Good God, oh Lord he's my natural man You know the dealer The dealer takes a nickel lord And sells you lots of sweet dreams And lord knows we need lots a sweet dreams But here comes the pusher Takes your body and leaves your mind a screen God damn on the pusher I said God damn the pusher He's not a natural man You know the dealer takes a nickel And he sells a box of sweet dreams But he pusher takes your body He takes your body He takes your body And he leaves your mind a screen God damn him God damn him, God damn him God damn him, God damn the pusher If I were the president, hear me, of this land I'd declare totale war on the pusher man Gimme now, now I'd shoot him if he stands I'd cut him if he runs yea I'd kill him with my Bible My razor and my gun God damn him, God damn him Oh, the pusher God damn the pusher man

  3. Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter5:21
  4. Mr. Bojangles5:21

    Letra

    I knew a man Bojangles And he danced for you In worn out shoes With silver hair, a ragged shirt And baggy pants, the old soft shoe He jumped so high, he jumped so high Then he lightly touched down I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out He looked at me to be the eyes of age As he spoke right out He talked of life, he talked of life He laughed, slapped his leg a step He said his name, Bojangles And he danced a lick across the cell He grabbed his pants in fettered stance Oh, he jumped up high Then he clicked his heels He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh Shook back his clothes all around Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance! He danced for those At minstrel shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of 15 years How his dog and him traveled about His dog up and died, he up and died After 20 years he still grieves He said I dance now At every chance in honky tonks For drink and tips But most of the time I spend behind these county bars Cause I drinks a bit He shook his head And as he shook his head I heard someone ask him Please, please Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance!

  6. Dambala6:53

    Letra

    Oh Dambala come Dambala Oh Dambala come Dambala Think of the wings of a three toed frog Eat weeds from the deepest part of sea Oh Dambala come Dambala Oh Dambala come Dambala On the seventh day God will be there On the seventh night satan will be there On the seventh day God will be there On the seventh night satan will be there You slavers will know What its like to be a slave Slave to your heart Slave to your soul Oh Dambala come Dambala Oh Dambala come Dambala You slavers will know what its Like to be a slave Slave to your mind Slave to your race You won't go to heaven You won't go to hell You remain in your graves With the stench and the smell Oh Dambala come Dambala Oh Dambala come Dambala
  7. Let It Be Me3:35

    Letra

    I bless the day I found you, I want to stay around you And so I beg you, let it be me. Don't take this heaven from one, If you must cling to someone Now and forever, let it be me. Each time we meet, love, I find complete love. Without your sweet love What would life be? So never leave me lonely, Tell me you'll love me only And that you'll always let it be me. If for each bit of gladness Someone must taste of sadness I'll bear the sorrow, let it be me. No matter what the price is I'll make no sacrifices. Through each tomorrow let it be me. To you I'm praying, Hear what I'm saying. Please, let your heart beat For me, just me. And never leave me lonely, Tell me you'll love me only And that you'll always let it be me, Let it be me. [Original French lyrics] Comme l'argile L'insecte fragile L'esclave docile Je t'appartiens De tout mo'ntre Tu es le seul ma'tre Je dois me soumettre Je t'appartiens Si tu condamnes Jetant mon ‰me Au creux des flammes Je n'y peux rien1 Avec les peines L'amour et la haine Coulant dans mes veines Je t'appartiens Que puis-je faire Pour te satisfaire Patron de la terre Sur mon chemin Comme les anges Chanter tes louanges Mais je ne suis pas un ange Tu le sais bien Je ne suis qu'un homme Rien qu'un pauvre homme Je t'aime comme Comme un copain Souvent je pense Que dans ton immense Palais de silence Tu dois'tre bien
